| الملخص: | The “white” (light) surface on Mesopotamian pottery emerged in the middle 7th to the early 6th millennium BC, becoming the hallmark of pottery from all over Mesopotamia during the 6th millennium BC of the Standard Hassuna, Samarra, Halaf and Ubaid cultures. This study, based on the materials from Yarim Tepe I (Northern Mesopotamia) attempts to determine exactly how such a coating was produced. Technological and petrographic analysis, scanning electron microscopy SEM-EDS and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy were employed. The use of lime and gypsum was established, but with the use of different techniques, as well as clay that does not contain hematite. |
