Title: | Sherds on the Edge: Characterization of 16th Century Colonial Spanish Pottery Recovered from the Solomon Islands | Contributor(s): | Kelloway, S J (author); Ferguson, T J (author); Iñañez, J G (author); Vanvalkenburgh, P (author); Roush, C C (author); Gibbs, Martin (author) ; Glascock, M D (author) | Publication Date: | 2016-08 | Early Online Version: | 2015-07-07 | DOI: | 10.1111/arcm.12187 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/32118 | Abstract: | We present the results of instrumental neutron activation analysis of ceramics recovered from the Solomon Islands, associated with Alvaro de Mendaña y Neira's 16th century colonizing expedition to the region (c.1595-6). Based on the chemical and typological data and previously published petrological and geochronological research, this study assigns the provenance of the ceramics variously to Peru, Panama, Spain, China and Thailand. A comparison of the provenance results with historical records related to Mendaña's voyage also shows the value of the archaeological assemblage in providing a detailed picture of provisioned ceramic types and their provenance. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Grant Details: | ARC/DP1093168 | Source of Publication: | Archaeometry, 58(4), p. 549-573 | Publisher: | Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1475-4754 0003-813X |
