What is Effect of firing temperature and atmosphere on ceramics made of NW Peloponnese clay sediments. Part I: Reaction paths, crystalline phases, microstructure and colour about?
Archaeometric investigation on ancient ceramic collected from excavations in NW Peloponnese demonstrated that the ancient potters used the local Plio-Pleistocene clay sedimentary deposits for a large historical period. Three representative raw materials of these local sediments were chosen for experimental work aiming to evaluate their firing behaviour in a propane-fired kiln, with a different atmosphere and temperature. The determination of mineralogy and microstructure was carried out by XRD and SEM-EDS analysis. For ceramics fired at 850 and 950 • C, no significant mineralogical and microstructural differences were observed between the oxidising and reducing atmosphere. The main pyrometamorphic phases are fassaite, gehlenite, anorthite and wollastonite. On the contrary, at 1050 • C in reducing atmosphere, gehlenite and wollastonite are diminished whereas the content of anorthite, fassaite and amorphous phase is higher. The higher vitrification is attributed to Fe 2+ that participates either in the formation of eutectic phases or in low melting crystalline phases.
