In our studies of archaeological ceramics we employ a number of physical methods, mainly neutron activation analysis, Mössbauer spectroscopy, optical thin section microscopy and X-ray diffraction, in an effort to reach a holistic view of ancient ceramic production and its socio-economic context. The selection of the material for the studies depends on the detailed knowledge of the...

The neutron source Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II) is currently the most powerful neutron source in Germany. During the 10 years reactor operation, the modern neutron source provides researchers not only numerous possibilities for the neutron scattering experiments, but also offers opportunities for trace element analysis in the archaeological samples.
The "classical" neutron activation...

The archaeological sites of high historical value, Bota-Fora and Hiuton are located in State of Espírito Santo, southwest of Brazil in a region of old Jesuitical Missions built in the XVI century in the colonial period. In this work, the elemental composition of several pottery fragments from both sites were investigated by the neutron activation analysis and the concentration of the elements...
