The objective of this paper is to identify the chemical elements present in each fragment and associate it to various factors such as production technology, pigmentation and provenance. Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) analysis of a representative ensemble of ceramic fragments were performed. The analysis is fast, non-destructive and without sample preparation. Calcium, Ti, Fe, Mn, Zn, Rb and Zr were quantified. It was possible to characterize the ceramic paste composition and the key elements of the raw materials employed for the pigmentation.Downloads
