Abstract
The employment of time-of-flight (TOF) neutron diffraction allowed for the quantitativedetermination of mineral phase contents of the ceramic bulk of several pottery fragmentscoming from Milazzo and Messina (Sicily, southern Italy). From an historical–artistic point ofview, all the samples were dated back to the 12th to 13th centuries AD and classified asbelonging to the ‘proto-majolica’ ceramic class. The adopted procedure is absolutelynon-destructive, so that measurements were performed on the entire fragments without anysampling. The information derived, by applying the Rietveld analysis method, allowed us toformulate hypotheses concerning the fabrication processes of the artefacts.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
