of actual ceramic production sites is rare to find. It is more fruitful to use indirect methods when evaluating ceramic production. Indirect methods usually evaluate technological aspects, like petrographic understanding the physical makeup of the clay matrix and NAA analysis that characterizes the chemical aspects of ceramic pastes. Specialization and standardization studies within a ceramic assemblage can reveal a great deal about the organization of production. Looking at the organization of…

high temperatures (Cooper 1972). One of the main problems that Islamic potters faced throughout their time periods was that they did not have the necessary ingredients for making true porcelain because they did not have an essential clay called kaolin. The lack of this clay is a deficiency that practically all Near Eastern countries share. A large part of the history of Islamic pottery making therefore consists mostly of the potters trying to imitate Chinese porcelain,…

Soil Erodibility Factor (K) The soil erodibility factor (K), a measure of the susceptibility of soil to erosion under standard conditions, is a function of the percentage of silt and coarse sand, the soil structure, the permeability of the soil, and the percentage of organic matter. Wischmeier et al. (1971) defined the soil erodibility factor mathematically and Foster et al. (1996) converted the equation into the following SI unit equation: The soil erodibility factor (K) is determined for each…
