This research delves into the investigation of a ceramic sample discovered in the southern sector of the Durrës Amphitheatre, with a primary focus on comprehending its composition, origin, and cultural importance. The sample reveals similarities with protostonepaste through meticulous chemical analysis, yet a more profound correlation with protosto...
The paper analyses the glaze of a ceramic sherd found in the southern sector of the Durres amphitheatre. Specifically, the sherd was found in a layer datable to the late 12th to early 13th century, which can be interpreted as a dismissal layer of a pottery kiln in use between the early and second half of the 12th century.

These objects, shaped like mummies, frequently 42 depict agricultural tools such as hoes, baskets, and sacks in their painted or embossed 43 hands, symbolising the shabti's role as a servant in the afterlife. Our goal is to explore the 44 mineralogy and chemistry of these fragments better to understand the composition and 45 history of these shabti figurines. 46 Egyptian faience is the earliest high-tech ceramics fired in advanced kilns, and it consists 47 of silica cores covered with a translucent blue-green glaze. ...
