| Abstract: |
In collaboration of Tübingen University and the Hungarian National Museum, archaeological and geological samples from different Neolithic excavation sites and their geographical surroundings will be investigated, the a new MÖB-DAAD project lasts from 2005 to 2006. All sites are located in Hungary and have ample scientific evidences. State of the art analytical methods will be applied to evaluate the history of pottery production (question of on-site production or transportation), usage of raw material (geochemical and/or petrological correlation between clay deposits and pottery) and production processes (e.g. firing temperatures, temper). Analytical details and applicability of Sr-isotope method and a new non destructive XRF technique are described. In addition, different XRF methods are compared, including a non destructive method.
