Abstract

The physical, chemical and mineralogical aspects of the use of Mossbauer spectroscopy in studies of clay-based ceramics are described. Mossbauer spectra of pottery clays fired under oxidising, reducing and changing conditions are explained, and the possibilities of using Mossbauer spectra to derive information on the firing temperatures and the kiln atmosphere during firing in antiquity are discussed and illustrated by examples.
