The Ceramic Petrology Group

Ceramic Petrology on the Web

Thin-sections lend themselves well to publication on the World Wide Web, especially with the use of QTVR to visualise rotation of the slide under crossed-polars. Members (and others) are encouraged to submit URLs of useful web-based resources.

• Michael Smith's Ceramic Petrology Page
• Barbara Mills and Kelley Hays-Gilpin's Ceramic Analysis Bibliography
• The Fitch Laboratory
• A special issue of Internet Archaeology devoted to the use of ceramic petrology in the study of near eastern ceramics

Coming soon.... A web interface to the United Kingdom Ceramic Thin-Section Database, sponsored by English Heritage, is being prepared. Estimated completion date: Spring 2002.
