X-ray Diffraction Analysis of Clay Particles in Ancient Baekje Black Pottery: Indicator of the Firing Parameters

An X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was conducted after separating clay particles from three shards, to analyze the production technique of black pottery excavated from a historical site of ancient Baekje in Seoul, South Korea. Through the analysis, clay minerals and iron oxides that were not recogn...
