Physical Characterization of Stoneware Ceramic Materials
Author(s): Steven Sarich; Timothy James Scarlett
Year: 2015
Summary
The Davenport Pottery manufactured earthenware and stoneware in Utah, between 1853 and 1888. This poster uses data from a broad range of analyses, including XRF, INAA, petrography, and mechanical stress testing to develop profiles of the outcomes of technical processes at the pottery shop. These characteristics then provide insight into various key research topics in archaeology, including pottery systematics, life-expectancy and depositional time lag, experimental archaeology, and the applicability of RHX dating techniques on high-fired ceramic samples.
