Abstract

PIXE analysis has been performed on a set of furnace rejects from archaeological excavations in the Ligurian towns of Savona and Albissola and on some finished objects from the Mediterranean area. The results show statistically significant differences between the various pottery productions examined, that can be used for the investigation of provenance. A specific case is debated in connection with historical documents and previous controversial provenance studies.
