The Application Of Nuclear Analytical Techniques In The Study Of Ancient Ceramics Of Nanwa And Pacun

China is the hometown of ceramics, ancient ceramics in China has made brilliant achievements. The use of scientific and technical means to conduct research on ancient ceramics is a hot area in recent years. Modern nuclear analytical techniques can be used to measure the elements and oxides content of ancient ceramics. The source and the origin of ancient ceramics can be obtained from processing these measurement data, and it is significant to understand the ancient history and culture, to identify ancient ceramics, and to imitate these ceramics.Using factor analysis, cluster analysis, discriminant analysis and walking analysis, this thesis processes neutron activation analysis data of Nanwa white pottery depression, and x-ray fluorescence analysis data of Pacun kiln. About the source of materials of these ancient ceramics and Physical performance test for glaze of Pacun kiln, the conclusions are summarized as follows:(1) Nanwa white pottery owns the same origin and concentrated source of raw materials; Nanwa white pottery and clay samples DNTY2 and DNT03 sample is closely related, therefore, the origin of raw material of Nanwa white pottery is probably from the region which the two clay samples are taken from, i.e. the vicinity of the Nanwa.(2) Porcelain body of Pacun kiln has singular raw material origin, mostly from the same area. Although a small number of samples may come from different regions, these regions are not far away from each other. The raw material of black glaze of Pacun kiln is from three close regions. The samples in a same region have concentrated raw material origin; Samples of white glaze have the same formula and their raw materials own a single, centralized origin. The origin of brown enamel samples is close as a part of black glaze.(3) Discriminant analysis can effectively discriminate Nanwa white pottery and Pacun kiln samples, and the discriminant equation can facilitate follow-up study.(4) The porosity and water absorption of black glaze and white glaze of Pacun kiln are very high. The gap between bulk density and apparent density is relatively small.
