Abstract:
Archaeometrical investigation on the ceramic assemblage from Karkamis Höyük, ancient Karkemish started in 2016, mainly focusing on Iron Age materials. Preliminary cross-correlated analytical investigations highlighted crystal structure and chemical composition of samples, selected to represent all technological ceramic classes. This work reports on the first step of a broader program of analyses on both sherds and raw clay, with the aim to connect the site and its ceramic production with the geological deposits in the surrounding region.
