Coupling Lead Isotope Analysis and Petrography to characterize Fabrics of Storage and Trade Containers from Hala Sultan Tekke (Cyprus) Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Lead isotopes, thin- and sherd-section analyses are coupled on pottery-vessel fragments excavated from the Late Bronze Age site of Hala Sultan Tekke (south-east Cyprus) and representing fabrics used for the production of storage and trade containers. The fabrics of the sherds are first described according to general macroscopic observations. Based on the different fabrics identified, a petrographic analysis is carried out on thin sections and ...
