Abstract
In the steps of William the Conqueror: neutron activation analysis of Caen stone
Lore L Holmes
Garman Harbottle
199 - 220
Quarries in the Bathonian stone formation surrounding Caen produced high-quality limestone for medieval churches in northern France and southern England and for their sculptural decoration. Compositional distiction between quarries is possible by discriminant analysis. Comapring compositions of quarry samples with data in the Brookhaven Limestone Database identified the origin of stone used in masonry and sculpture in France and in several museum objects.
Neutron activation analyses of `Falke-Group' stoneware

233 - 250
Fragments of late medieval highly decorated Falke-Group stoneware have been found in excavations all over central and northern Europe. The distribution of the finds points to an origin in Saxony, but the exact centre of production is still unknown. Therefore, a set of samples has been analysed with Neutron Activation and the data compared with Saxon reference groups. The results point to production in a single workshop. The data can be clearly distinguished from all reference groups in the authors' databank. However, the most similar group is that of Zittau, Saxony. Also, one sherd, which is typologically very similar to the Falke group, and which was made in Zittau, suggests that production was based there. Colchester findspot included.
