Abstract

ABSTRACT Trace and minor components in fragnzen~~ of northern Chinese porcelains and the poorly-known southern Chinese porcellun- eous ware from e.ucavatiom in the south-western Cape were determined non-desrmctively by PIXE in the glazes und in the body material. Correspondence analysis of the analytical riata showed that the Clzine.se glazes, though different from that of Englkh specimens, could not be dzferentiated. The analysis of the body material enabled the no~hem porceluins and some of the southern ceramics to be distinguished, but somp southern porcel- laneous ware could not be grouped separutel?. * Manuscript received September 1985.
