The review consists of four parts. Part I is about the thermal transformation in clay minerals
under firing and about the properties of fired clay. The transformations in the clay are …

This paper introduces the necessity and significance of the investigation of cultural heritage
objects. The multi-technique method is useful for the study of cultural heritage objects, but a …

A method for quantifying the individual components of mineral samples based on attenuated
total reflectance–Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) is described, extending …

This work is about to explore the mineralogical analysis of three different archaeological
pottery sherds discovered from the archaeological site Kundureddiyur, Tirupattur District …

The chapter reviews the use of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) in study of
ancient pottery and its applications to archaeology. FT-IR is a powerful technique for …

The fired-clay ceramic of EBA (Early Bronze Age) Canaanite pottery is mineralogically and
chemically analyzed by using FT-IR spectroscopy and LA-ICP-MS. Spectral analysis by …

Our curiosity about archaeological artefacts leads us to discover details about the lifestyles
of our ancestors. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning …

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) is a versatile analytical method, very useful
in many fields. Although a crucial step in producing good spectra is the use of the …

The characterization of archeological ceramic and pottery can be studied for the
determination of firing temperature and the presence of raw materials by thermal analysis …

This review covers developments in the analysis of chemicals, metals and functional
materials. We have strengthened the criticality of this review and have included only those …
