This may be one reason why, in this region, the traditional approach to the study of prehistoric pottery has prevailed over the use of new methodologies, which require the application of technological (mineralogical, geochemical etc.) and functional analytical techniques (for example, gas chromatography) or the study of post-depositional alterations. However, an integral study of this kind of evidence is able not only to approach an understanding of ceramic assemblages but also to propose interpretative hypotheses contributing to the formulation and development of new research projects. In the present study, pottery is seen as a product within a sequence of operations transforming raw material into the final recipient. In this process , the final product may possess very different physical-chemical ...

This paper presents the technological analysis of the Neolithic pottery documented in the lower levels of the Kobaederra site (Cortezubi, Bizkaia) on the basis of their mineralogical (petrography and X-ray diffraction, XRD) and geochemical (SEM-EDS) analysis. Its goal is to discriminate the possible areas of raw materials supply and their modification through the addition of tempers. Finally, the implications of the results in relation to the rest of available archaeological evidences from the IV and the III levels of the Kobaederra site are discussed.

In this material, called Dimim[FeBr4], an exhaustive and systematic study involving structural and physical characterization (synchrotron X-ray, neutron powder diffraction, direct current and alternating current magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, heat capacity, Raman and Mössbauer measurements) as well as first-principles analysis (density functional theory (DFT) simulation) was performed. The crystal structure, solved by Patterson-function direct methods, reveals a monoclinic phase (P21 symmetry) at room temperature with a = 6.745(3) Å, b = 14.364(3) Å, c = 6.759(3) Å, and β = 90.80(2)°. Its framework, projected along the b direction, is characterized by layers of cations [Dimim](+) and anions [FeBr4](-) that change the orientation from layer to layer, with Fe···Fe distances larger than 6.7 Å. Magnet...

The decomposition process of the hydroxiarsenate compound is strongly dependent on the atmospheric conditions. The results of the thermal treatment in air or argon are quite different. In this way, a new black phase appears in air atmosphere in the 400-630 degrees C temperature range whereas under inert atmosphere the structure of Mn-2(OH)ASO(4) at room temperature is maintained up to 560 degrees C, The weight loss is attributed to the partial decomposition of Mn-2(OH)ASO(4) above 400 degrees C with removal of OH groups and the oxidation of MnII to MnIII that occur simultaneously. Above 650 degrees C, the structures of the intermediate compounds are broken and the evolution of the inorganic residues gives rise to the formation of arsenates and oxides of MnII and MnIII in inert and air atmospheres.

The structure consists of a three-dimensional framework in which Co(1)O5 -trigonal bipyramid dimers and Co(2)O6 -octahedra chains are simultaneously present. The magnetic structure has been determined by neutron (D2B and D1B) powder-diffraction data. Below 22 K, the Co2(OH)AsO4 phase shows an incommensurate antiferromagnetic structure along

The compounds have been characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and spectroscopic measurements. Diffuse reflectance data of both phases show bands belonging to the two chromophores, octahedral and trigonal bipyramidal, of the Co(II) ions together with others associated to the chromophores of nickel(II) and copper(II) ions. Magnetization measurements of Co1.7Ni0.3(OH) PO4 show the presence of two maxima at ca. 62 and 5 K, respectively. The first peak was attributed to a three-dimensional antiferromagnetic ordering and the second one reveals the existence of a spin glass-like state. This behaviour was confirmed from the ac measurements obtained at different frequencies and applied fields. The Co1.7Cu0.3(OH) PO4 phase exhibits only one maximum at 65 K in both chi(m) and ac measurements associated to the three-dimensional antiferromagnetic interactions; however, the existence of spin glass behaviour is not observed. ZFC-FC curves for the cobalt - nickel and cobalt - copper compounds show irreversibility just below T-N indicating the existence of higher spin decompensations than in the Co-2(OH)PO4 phase. This difference and its influence in the magnetic anomalies observed at low temperatures is the more important effect in the magnetic measurements of the ordered Co-2(OH) PO4 phase substituted at about 15% of the Co2+ (S = 3/2) by Ni2+ (S = 1) or Cu2+ (S = 1/2) ions. The origin of the frustration, which is necessary to achieve a disordered ground state, is investigated in these kinds of spin glass compounds. Taking into account the possible magnetic exchange pathways, which are essential to install competition and ensure cooperativeness of the freezing process, correlations between structural and magnetic properties have been performed.
