Petrographic Analysis and Provenience of Ten Plain ware Potsherds from the Country Club Road Project, Mesa, Arizona

Author(s): Diana C. Kamilli

Year: 1993

Summary

Ten plainware potsherds from the Country Club Road Project were submitted for thin sectioning and petrographic analysis in the hopes that differences in the compositional assemblages would give clues to temper collection patterns, pottery movement, material treatment, or firing technology.

All ten sherds were cut into standard thin sections, stained for alkali feldspar and calcic plagioclase, and examined under a research Zeiss petrographic microscope.
