Title: Studies on Trace Element Compositions of Laohudong Guan Ware and Ru Guan Ware
Abstract: The trace element compositions of the sherds excavated from the Southern Song dynasty stratum (Xiuneisi Guan Kiln) and the Yuan dynasty stratum of Laohudong at Fenghuang foothill in Hangzhou and those excavated in Qingliangsi Ru Guan site were analyzed. The trace element compositions of the bodies were processed by correspondence analysis. It is pointed out that the bodies for the sherds of the two strata of Laohudong and Ru Guan separately lie in three areas. It is shown that their raw materials are different. This result may provide scientific basis for distinguishing the products of the two strata of Laohudong and Ru Guan Kiln.It is also pointed out that the technology of Xiuneisi Guan ware in the Southern Song dynasty followed the old technology of Ru Guan Kiln as described in literature but was only influenced by Ru in some characteristic such as basal foot shape, fully glazed face, setter and setting firing. The Southern Song Xiuneisi Guan ware couldn't avoid being influenced by the mature technology of the Yue ware in raw materials for use and firing process because it was located in the south. Thus there existed obvious differences either in trace element content or in appearance and tone between Xiuneisi Guan ware and Ru Guan ware.
