Data on minerals and crystallinity index of quartz in rock samples collected from Paleolithic archaeological site of Attirampakkam, Tamil Nadu

In the present work, rock samples were collected from Paleolithic archaeological site of Attirampakkam, Tamil Nadu, India to assess the mineralogical composition using Fourier transform infrared-spectroscopic (FT-IR) technique and X-Ray Diffraction Spectrometry (XRD). The quartz, kaolinite, montmori...
