Technical Studies on the White-glazed Sherds Excavated from the Archaeological Site, A\u27Ali in Bahrain
Some Islamic white-glazed Sherds excavated from an archaeological site of the 9th century, A\u27Ali in Bahrain on the coast of Persian Gulf were technically studied to find their characteristics and provenances. The white glazes of some sherds contain fairly large amounts of tin and lead, while others do not. This fact has been hitherto unknown in detail. The results of chemical analyses and X-ray diffraction of glazes and fabrics (body clays), and trace element contents of fabrics determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis are presented, and their provenances are discussed
