Description
Summary:Different glazed ceramics and glass artifacts, coming from the excavations of the Sijilmassa site and exhibited in CERA (center for Alaouite studies and research) in Rissani (Morocco), were analysed by portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. All glazed ceramics are lead glaze and their ceramic bodies are calcareous clay. Glass objects are different nature: lead-glass, lead-lime-alkaline and potassium-lime glass. Classical elements were used to colour glaze and glass: tin for white, cobalt ore for blue, copper for green, manganese and iron for black and iron for yellow.
