Tell Leilan (Site Name Keyword)
1-3 (3 Records)
This project pertains to the compositional analysis of ceramic materials from Syria. These data were generated by neutron activation analysis (NAA) at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) between the late 1960s and early 1990s. Data from the LBNL were transferred to the Archaeometry Laboratory at the University of Missouri, where they were digitized for distribution through tDAR.
PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF A KILN ASH SAMPLE, TELL LEILAN, NORTHEAST SYRIA (1997)
A single sample of ash from a kiln at Tell Leilan was examined for phytoliths. The kiln dates to approximately 2500 B.C. and was filled with over-sintered pottery (stacked wasters). The interior walls of the kiln had begun to melt and most of the pots were warped and crumbly. Phytolith analysis was undertaken to identify the fuel used in this mid-third millennium kiln.
Syrian Ceramics: Compositional and Descriptive Data (2014)
This dataset contains compositional (elemental abundance) and descriptive data for a total of 277 ceramic and clay specimens from Syria, analyzed by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). These data were generated by neutron activation analysis (NAA) at LBNL between the late 1960s and early 1990s. Data from the LBNL were transferred to the Archaeometry Laboratory at the University of Missouri, where they were digitized for distribution through tDAR. Elemental abundance data could not...
