Abstract

In 2024, archaeological research works were carried out at the citadel of the Kultobe settlement. In the course of survey work, 3 construction horizons were uncovered and a large volume of ceramic fragments was collected. At present, petrographic analyses are carried out on the basis of research methods in the field of natural sciences in order to determine the technology of clay ceramics production, firing temperature, chemical composition of clay, place of raw materials obtaining, etc. The research method is an advanced example of the advanced research in the field of natural sciences. This research method is an advanced example of interdisciplinary study of clay ceramics. As a result of the 2024 study, 10 clay pottery samples were collected from the Kultobe site for petrographic analysis at the REDEVIO AR-GE Bilgi ve Operasyon Teknolojileri and Historical Materials Research and Conservation (MAKLAB) laboratories in Ankara, Republic of Turkey. As part of the documentation work of the clay pottery fragments, their colors were determined using a digital color meter (chromameter) and their thicknesses were determined using a digital thicknessmeter. During petrographic studies, the petrographic features of the samples were studied by optical microscopic analysis through thin sections, and their chemical composition was studied by XRF and SEM-EDX polarized X-ray fluorescence analysis. The results of the analysis were used to determine the degree of firing, density and chemical composition of the clay ceramics and to draw conclusions about the source of raw materials (the place of clay production).
