摘要：Provenance investigation of archaeological pottery means determining the sources of natural or artificial
mixture of raw materials, and requires tracking the steps of a complex manufacturing process. The basic step is
to sample the possible raw materials and to compare them with the pottery. It is a fundamental task to develop
an effective sampling strategy for ceramic raw materials according to the conditions of the different
archaeological sites.
This paper discusses the problems of geological fieldwork during the investigation of Middle Neolithic Bükk
Culture (c. 5200-5000 B.C.) fine pottery in Hungary. Improving our knowledge on appropriate sampling
strategy, this study showed two sites with similar geology and slightly different geomorphological position which
gave different results. The variable influence of the local geology on the near-surface sediments may be the
underlying reason. Therefore, provenance analysis of archaeological ceramics should be supported by proper
petrological-mineralogical-geochemical and sedimentological databases, built on systematic sampling and
investigation of local near-surface sediments. For Neolithic pottery in Hungary we are creating for this purpose
the CeraMIS database as an initial set of information. Such a dataset can help to better understand the natural
variability of the potential raw materials of a certain area and help to determine the local or non-local origin of
pottery.
