Abstract
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) applied to ancient pottery
M P Mata
D R Peacor
M D Gallart-Martí
155 - 176
Reports a comparative study of ancient pottery using X-ray diffraction, optics and scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM). TEM allows minerals and glass to be imaged in situ, providing data on textures, crystal structures and composition. TEM provided detailed characterisation of both source-characteristic raw materials and products of the firing process and revealed the range of intermediate phases, most of which had sizes beyond that of resolution by SEM. TEM provided definition of the reaction processes, from starting material through glass and new crystalline phases, providing data on both temperature and duration of firing. Illustrated using pottery samples from northern Spain.
Some comments on compositional data analysis in archaeometry, in particular the fallacies in Tangri and Wright's dismissal of Logratio analysis

295 - 304
Advocates the use of logratio analysis for all problems involving compositional data. Rejects `standard multivariate analysis' and suggests problems with Tangri and Wright's (1993) rejection of logratio analysis (see also 93/857).
