From Mine to Microscope: Advances in the Study of Ancient Technology,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
These twenty papers dedicated to Mike Tite focus upon the interpretation of ancient artefacts and technologies, particularly through the application of materials analysis. Instruments from the human eye to mass spectrometry provide insights into a range of technologies ranging from classical alum extraction to Bronze Age wall painting, and cover materials as diverse as niello, flint, bronze, glass and ceramic. Ranging chronologically from the Neolithic through to the medieval period, and geographically from Britain to China, these case studies provide a rare overview which will be of value to students, teachers and researchers with an interest in early material culture.Table of ContentsLead Frits in Islamic and Hispanomoresque Glazed Productions (J Molera, T Pradell, N Salvado and M VendrellSaz)The Emergence of Ceramic Technology and its Evolution as Revealed with the use of Scientific Techniques (Yannis Maniatis)Neolithic Pottery from Switzerland: Raw Materials and Manufacturing Processes (M Maggetti)Lowtech in Amalfi: provenance and date assignation of Medieval MiddleEastern Pottery by Application of Eyeball Technique (Robert B J Mason)Some Implications of the use of Wood Ash in Chinese stoneware glazes of the 9th12th Centuries (Nigel Wood)The HispanoMoresque Tin Glazed Ceramics Produced in Tereul, Spain: A Technology Between Two Historical Periods, 13th16th c.
