Abstract:

Investigations of archaeological pottery artifacts using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) provide information on pore structure of fired samples of shred belonging to Cris 1 culture. From long ago, the ancient art has been faked. We present a scientific analysis of the pore structure of ancient ceramic samples in order to establish a method that allows us to differentiate between the true and false ancient ceramic sample. The use of the technique is illustrated on both lot of authentic and fakes specimens. Measurement of pore sizes and established the statistical pore distribution in wall thickness of ceramics are highlighted as research area useful in the administration and tracking down the traffic with objects of patrimony.

Keywords:

archaeological pottery, SEM, pore distribution.
