Sr isotope analysis for the provenance study of ancient ceramics: an integrated approach (original) (raw)

The potential of Sr isotopic analysis in provenance studies of ancient ceramics has been explored in only a limited number of case studies. The current project aims to reaccess the application of Sr isotopes for the provenance study of pottery, within the scope of an integrated analytical approach. The technique was applied to both pottery sherds and clay sediment samples from Cyprus as an effort to link the isotopic fingerprint of the raw materials to that of the final product. The results were meant to be compared to and complement pre-existing Pb isotopic analysis, petrographic and elemental composition data .
