✦ Synopsis


Shards from the archaeological site of Xishan (Henan, China) were analyzed by Raman microscopy to determine the pigments used in the decoration of this ancient (ca 4300-2800 BC) pottery. It was found for the first time that anatase was used for white coating 5000 years ago and this represents a contribution to the current knowledge of the history of pigments. The brown coating was identified as graphite. The red and black coatings were mainly haematite and magnetite; the colour of the coatings depends on the ratio of haematite to magnetite.
