Lead isotopes combined with trace element data represent a powerful tool for non-ferrous metal provenance studies. Nevertheless, unconsidered geological factors and archaeological data, as well as ignored analytical procedures, may substantially modify the interpretation of the isotopic and trace element signature obtained as a potential ore candidate. Three archaeological examples, accompanied...

Fragments of 25 examples of ‘white earthenware’ from Lorraine were subjected to porosity analysis, X-ray fluorescence analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis and backscattered-electron image analysis—coupled with energy-dispersive spectrometry to determine the porosity, bulk, major, minor and trace element compositions, and the composition and the proportion of their constituent...
