商周原始瓷的EDXRF无损分析

采用能量色散X射线荧光(EDXRF)经验系数法，对江西吴城遗址出土的商代原始瓷残片中主、次量元素含量进行了无损测试，根据仪器提供的强度校正方程，用已知成分的陶瓷标准参考物求出校正系数，进行基体校正，所得结果与前人的研究工作颇为吻合。该法能满足考古样品分析的要求，特别适用于古陶瓷样品的无损检测。     

历代洪州窑古瓷的元素组成特征的中子活化分析研究

对江西洪州窑从东汉晚期至晚唐五代8期400个瓷胎样品进行了中子活化分析, 分析结果显示碱金属元素Na和Rb、 碱土金属元素Ba及Fe等作为胎的助熔剂元素随年代的变化趋势相似, 都呈现出两头高中间低的U字形变化规律, 其中Fe作为呈色元素, 其含量的高低与瓷胎颜色的深浅是一致的. 分析结果还揭示洪州窑的发展与衰落以及窑址的不断变迁可能都与制瓷原料的发现与消耗有关. 对分析数据进行主成分分析, 可以将不同时期烧制的瓷胎样品大致分为5组: （1）东汉晚期东吴时期; （2）两晋和南朝时期; （3）隋代; （4）初唐和盛唐时期; （5）晚唐五代时期. 400 sherds were collected from Hongzhou Kiln covering 8 periods from Eastern Han to Late Tang Dynasty/the Five Dynastied and their bodies were analysed by NAA. The results show that the elemental contents in different samples are quite distinct, even for those in the same period. It means no single element can be used as “fingerprint” to distinguish the period. The curves of the contents of Na, Rb, Ba and Fe varying with time are very similar, like “U” shape. As a colorant element, the content of Fe is consistent with the color of the body. The higher content of Fe, the more dark of the body. The outcome of principal component analysis (PCA) indicate that most of the sherds can be classified into 5 groups: (1) Eastern Han & Eastern Wu; (2) Western Jin, Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties; (3) Sui; (4) Early Tang and Middle Tang; (5) Late Tang & Five Dynasties.
