Popis: | Medieval Ceramics: Journal of the Medieval Ceramics Research Group, 8, 31-46 The uses of the three most common petrological techniques - binocular microscope study, thin-sectioning and heavy mineral analysis - are described. Five case studies are presented in which thin-sectioning has been used to provide previously unsuspected information concerning the source of the pottery. It is nevertheless admitted that these are atypical and that in many cases the results of petrological analysis must be so tentative as to be not worth the effort of analysis. |
