Abstract

A series of four well-defined elemental patterns found among pottery of a Roman workshop site at Bonn could be identified as mixtures of two initial components in different mixing ratios. The detection method for such mixtures and its application to a databank of 137 chemical patterns, which have been found in the Bonn Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) databank of 2520 samples of pottery from Germany, is described. Finally, the possibilities of obtaining additional information by identifying groups as paste mixtures are discussed.
