Title: Study on the preQin hard pottery of Boluo county, Guangdong province with XRF and INAA
Abstract: In order to reveal the provenance, sintering process of ancient pottery from Meihuadun, Yingang, and Henglingshan sites of Boluo county, Guangdong province and additionally the details of technology spread and cultural exchange derived from porcelain production among the three places, thirtyeight hard pottery sherds collected from these sites were studied with WDXRF and INAA. These sherds are of Western Zhou to SpringAutumn, Warring States Periods. Concentrations of 16 or 27 elements were WDXRF or INAA measured and then principal component analysis was applied to the XRF and INAA data sets in the purpose to classify these sherds. The study indicates that ancient pottery of these sites might use raw materials of different origins for hard pottery production, as hard pottery sherds of these 3 sites show different chemical composition patterns. Additional study demonstrates that hard pottery samples of Guangdong are regionally characteristic of higher Al 2O 3 content than those of Zhejiang,Jiangxi,and Fujian provinces.
