Herkunftsbestimmung von Keramik aus der Siedlung Taganrog am unteren Don durch Neutronenaktivierungsanalyse

Abstract

203 pottery fragments from the settlement of Taganrog (Russian Federation) were selected for provenance determination by means of neutron activation analysis (NAA). The sample is based on macroscopically defined fabric groups. The results not only extend the knowledge on already established provenance groups, but also provided new insights into the production regions of Archaic East Greek transport amphorae. The analyses also prove the quality of the applied method for macroscopic fabric examination.
