Abstract: | In the present study an archaeometry programme has been developed on a limited number
of coarse wares, monochrome, and bichrome glazed ceramics retrieved in the cities of Évora, Mértola,
and Silves, located inWestern Iberia, Portugal (Gharb al-Andalus during the Islamic period). The goals
were to shed light on the glazed ceramic provenance technology, trading, and on the glaze technology
applied. For this purpose, a multi-analytical approach was employed to characterize ceramic pastes
and glazes using optical microscopy (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and a
Scanning Electron Microscope coupled to an Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (SEM-EDS). Results
evidenced that over the Islamic rule, coarse wares were locally produced at Évora. On the contrary,
monochrome and bichrome glazed ceramics were imported from the city of Silves, Mértola, and from
unidentified workshops, probably located in southern Iberia. The analysis of decorations evidenced
that despite the provenance of the samples, the glaze technology applied was rather uniform over
time, depicting a widespread technological transfer in the al-Andalus. |
