Saudi Arabia Ceramics: Compositional and Descriptive Data
Part of the Neutron Activation Analysis of Ceramics from Saudi Arabia project
Creator(s): Matthew Boulanger; Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Year: 2014
Summary
This dataset contains compositional (elemental abundance) and descriptive data for a total of 52 ceramic and clay specimens from Saudi Arabia, 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 be located for 5 of these specimens. All descriptive and contextual data are drawn from the Berkeley archives, and may be incomplete
