Duke Petrographic

Duke Petrographic is live at SEAC. Come check us out!

Duke Petrographic offers ceramic petrography, pottery analysis, and research design/consultation in service of archaeological research.

When applied to archaeological pottery, petrography is a powerful tool for inferring provenance (where pots were made), composition (the potting "recipe"), and technology (how pots were made). Petrographic data carry high interpretive value, particularly for studies interested in communities of practice, social and economic organization, and exchange.

Duke Petrographic can provide both quantitative point counting and qualitative fabric analysis, and can tailor an approach to suit the needs of your project.
