Neutron Activation Analysis of Ceramics from Mexico

Summary

This project contains data on 45 ceramic specimens from Cerro Portezuelo, Mexico, and 6 clay specimens from the surrounding region. These data were produced at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the mid 1970s. The specimens were analyzed as part of Barbara Branstetter-Hardesty's Ph.D. dissertation work at the University of California, Los Angeles. Additional information regarding these specimens may be found in her dissertation:

Branstetter-Hardesty, B. (1978) Ceramics of Cerro Portezuelo, Mexico: An Industry in Transition. Unpublished Ph.D. dissertation, University of California-Los Angeles.
