A systematic archaeometrical investigation on the ceramic assemblage from Karkamış Höyük, ancient Karkemish started in 2016, mainly focusing on Iron Age materials. Fundamental and effective cross-correlated analytical strategy is proposed and highlighted different crystal structure and minero-chemical composition of samples, specifically selected to represent all technological ceramic classes. This work reports on the first step of a broader program of analyses on both sherds and raw clay, with the aim to connect results from the local material with data from surrounding sites between the Mediterranean coast and the Euphrates Valley.

Abstract
A systematic archaeometrical investigation on the ceramic assemblage from Karkamış Höyük, ancient Karkemish started in 2016, mainly focusing on Iron Age materials. Fundamental and effective cross-correlated analytical strategy is proposed and highlighted different crystal structure and minero-chemical composition of samples, specifically selected to represent all technological ceramic classes. This work reports on the first step of a broader program of analyses on both sherds and raw clay, with the aim to connect results from the local material with data from surrounding sites between the Mediterranean coast and the Euphrates Valley.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
