Abstract

Characterization of five representative archaeological ceramic shards from the Tăşnad-Sere C 52 site by optical microscopy (OM), XRD, and FT-IR spectroscopy [1] was continued by the detailed analysis of the XRD and FT-IR spectroscopic data in order to obtain a deeper insight into the samples microstructure and mineral composition. The XRD investigations were also extended to several clayish soil samples collected in the archaeological site area. The fresh results permit more exact conclusions about the possible local provenance of the raw materials used by the ancient potters.
