Abstract
Investigations on the pottery sherds using Scanning Electron Microscope along
with the Energy Dispersive X-rays is a strong tool that give characteristic
information about the mineralogical composition and percentage of the minerals
in the fired pottery sherds. It is possible to establish the nature of pottery sherds
from the micrographs obtained. The size and distribution of the particle size as
well as the pores are not uniform which may be the result of variations in the
firing temperatures during the manufacturing process. The results show that the
pottery samples selected for examination in the current study were fired between
the temperature ranges of 800-1050oC.
