Tatetsuki and Shimane Pottery - XRPD data
XRPD data acquired in February 3rd 2021. Data were collected in the 3-80° 2-Theta range by using an automated Rigaku 'MiniFlex' diffractometer with Theta/2-Theta setup in Bragg-Brentano geometry.
Mineralogical analyses were obtained by processing experimentally collected data with the Diffrac Plus (2005) software (EVA 11,00,3).

Guidelines for ceramic shard analysis in stereomicroscopy
Optical microscopy on surface and reflected light stereomicroscopy on pottery shard.
The microscopic observation of the fragment was carried out to make a general characterization of ceramic materials. The guidelines applied for the examination of each sample was evaluated:
• The technological class (ceramic)
• The shape and size of the sample (length, width, and thickness)
• The presence of decorations (incisions, impressions, and rims)
• The potential presence of pigment
• The type of paste and its colour
• The amount of inclusions present (low, medium or high)
• The shape (rounded, sub-rounded, sub-angular and angular) and dimensions (fine to coarse) of inclusions
• The presence of iron-oxides
• The potential presence of conservation interventions (glue, gypsum, label ink and label paper)
Instrument: Nikon SMZ745T.
Lens: SM-LW61Ji3 version 3

AF TBO STC 175A XRF processing and modeling
Qualitative analysis observing the spectra peaks of the measurements performed on the residual coating of the finding. Finer processing (as quantitative analysis) is prevented by the presence of alteration products and soil on the surface.
-
AF TBO 169 XRF processing and modeling
Qualitative analysis observing the spectra peaks of the measurements performed on the slightly polished area of the finding. Finer processing (as quantitative analysis) is prevented by the presence of alteration products and soil on the surface.
