Abstract:	X-ray diffraction (XRD) is the most comprehensive tool to identify minerals in complex mineral assemblages. The method is briefly described with special emphasis on clay and ceramics. As an example, an investigation of graphite-containing pottery sherds by XRD is presented. By comparing the measured XRD data with the patterns simulated by the Rietveld method, the graphite content of such samples could be determined.
