标题：Archaeometric examination of Early and Middle Bronze Age ceramics from Százhalombatta-Földvár, Hungary / Archeometriai vizsgálatok kora- és középső bronzkori kerámián, Százhalombatta-Földvárról
摘要：This paper examines the technological aspects of Early and Middle Bronze Age ceramics from a tell settlement
at Százhalombatta (Hungary) by using polarising and cathodoluminescence microscopy, X-ray diffraction
(XRD) and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) analyses. Towards the end of the Middle Bronze Age, during
the Koszider period, ceramic production became more elaborate; and highly distinctive vessels appeared in
terms of their decoration, surface treatment and firing conditions. For this analysis eight sherds belonging to
fine and coarse wares were selected. In order to assess how potters may have altered their raw materials
potential clay samples around the tell settlement were also examined by the same techniques. Results suggest
that potters used locally available clays and even the most distinct vessels in terms of decoration (Rákospalota
type wares) seem to be locally made. In spite of the similarities in clay compositions, however, there is a clear
distinction between how potters manipulated their clay and temper even within a similar vessel type. This
practice resulted in the existence of intrasite technological traditions.
