This dataset is part of a collection
assembled during research by Dr Ioannis Liritzis, Professor of Archaeometry at the
University of the Aegean at Rhodes, and is used by his kind
permission.
Spectroscopic analysis of the clays
yielded figures for varying levels of different elements (this small
subset concentrates mainly on metals) in the composition of each
clay.
The data were gathered as part of an investigation into historical trading links between Mediterranean communities, in which the composition of clays used in manufacture of dated pot shards from separate sites were analysed for similarity/difference.

The data are posted here in four
tables.
I recommend the Mediterranean
Archæology and Archæometry journal (started by Prof.
Liritzis and still under his overall editorship).
