Abstract

The present work is part of a PhD project entitled Archaeometry of ceramic artefacts. Innovative tools and solutions for the knowledge, diagnostics and conservation of ceramic finds from archaeological contexts, concerning the study, the analysis and the application of innovative, effective and sustainable solutions for the knowledge of the archaeological heritage related to ceramic artefacts from medieval archaeological contexts in Basilicata, aimed at the compositional characterization of ceramic bodies and their coatings, including decorative elements when present. Here are reported the results from an archaeometrical investigation carried out on the opaque glazed ware from Satrianum archeological site. Raw materials provenance as well as bodies and glaze/decoration technologies have been investigated by integrating destructive and non-destructive techniques such as micro X-Ray fluorescence and micro Raman spectroscopy, and powder X-Ray diffraction.
