Abstract
Fine ware pottery from the Etruscan town of Tarquinia, whose necropolis in inscribed in the list of UNESCO sites, was studied by means of near-infrared (NIR) diffuse reflection spectroscopy. The aim was to investigate the correlation between the firing conditions of the illitic-calcareous local clay, in terms of temperature and atmosphere, and the physical properties of the ceramic paste, usually exploited by the archaeologists for a classification of pottery sherds. For comparison, analytical data related to the mineralogical composition of the samples were obtained by X-ray diffraction and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Spectroscopic data were elaborated by methods of multivariate analysis.
