Saggers were first recorded in <em>Tao Ji</em> (Records on Ceramic) written by Jiang Qi in the Southern Song Dynasty. The word <em>sagger</em> was coined by Song Yingxing in <em>Tian Gong Kai Wu</em> of the Ming Dynasty. The development of saggers can be divided into three stages: the germination stage of the bowls and jars of saggers before the Eastern Jin Dynasty; the initial stage of perforated saggers from the late Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty; and the development and maturity period of various saggers after the Sui Dynasty. The raw material recipe has gone from a single-component formula using refractory mud, clay, and other raw materials; to a two-component formula with clay as the matrix mixed with quartz sand or white clay; to multi-component formulas including white clay, black clay, and black and yellow sand. Loading and firing have undergone an evolution, from nested firing to single-box upward firing, to a combination of inner and outer boxes, and finally to branch ring covering firing. The evolution of saggar materials and firing methods reflects the improvement of saggar performance, which improves both the output and quality of ceramics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100038,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Archaeomaterials","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100028"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144290889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presents a multi-method interdisciplinary analysis of painted pottery from the Banpo site of the Yangshao culture. Element profiles and XPS analyses reveal that variations in trivalent iron content, responsible for different hues, are due to diverse firing atmospheres during the kiln’s stack firing rather than the use of a masking layer or different clay types. XRD analysis revealed that the ceramic body was primarily composed of quartz and feldspar. SEM-EDS indicates that black regions at the pottery’s base resulted from carbon penetration, likely due to its use as cooking utensils. Pigment analysis shows the red pigment is mainly ocher, the black pigment is a symbiotic combination of pyrolusite and magnetite, and the white pigment is calcite. Thermal expansion analysis confirms that the pottery was fired at around 1010 °C, with color differences attributed to the kiln atmosphere rather than firing temperature, supporting a single firing process.

Here we present new findings from the sites of Beiyachang and Baixiangchang in Dali, Yunnan. Five used cupel fragments from the two sites were generally dated to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Chemical and microscopic analyses show that the cupels were made primarily of a mixture of bone ash (∼30–50 wt %) and plant ash (∼50–70 wt %).

However, many early restoration works lack detailed documentation, posing significant challenges for museum conservators and scientists who want to reanalyze these restored artifacts. Reconstructing past restoration processes via scientific analysis is becoming a fundamental job. Previous studies on restoration materials and techniques for bronze artifacts have mostly relied on micro-analytical and invasive techniques, which are limited in providing comprehensive restoration information about artifacts as a whole. The present study employed imaging techniques, including macro X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray radiography, and ultraviolet-induced visible luminescence imaging, in combination with Raman spectroscopy and fiber optics reflectance spectroscopy, to investigate two bronze artifacts dated to the early Spring and Autumn period (770–476 BCE) in the collection of the National Museum of China. The results indicated that one of the artifacts, a bronze vessel (<em>yan</em>), exhibited extensive surface cracks and a large missing piece, which had been repaired using a copper plate joined with tin-lead soldering. Both artifacts showed evidence of surface retouching with pigments such as lithopone, lazurite, phthalocyanine blue, barium white, and chrome yellow. Lithopone, in particular, helps researchers estimate the restoration period of these artifacts, providing valuable insight into their conservation history. The integration of imaging and spectroscopic techniques proves to be an effective approach for characterizing the restoration materials and techniques applied to bronze artifacts, helping conservators in assessing the condition of restored bronze artifacts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100038,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Archaeomaterials","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100043"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143526929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
