Abstract

Abstract This paper is aimed at studying different pottery sherds excavated in the site of Valcorrente, located in Sicily, occupied in three main periods, dating respectively to the end of the Neolithic period, to the end of the Chalcolithic period, and to the Early Bronze Age. The chemical composition of the pottery sherds has been analysed with Ion Beam techniques at AGLAE facility at Centre de Recherche et Restauration des Musées de France and the results have been treated with principal component analysis in order to extract indications about the ceramic production technology in the area and the evolution in time.
