Example 2: Qumran Pottery Provenance All clay sources on earth have a unique geochemical history, but show a slightly different impurity composition. Based on the analysis of these impurities the pottery can be traced to the site where it has been manufactured. Similarly, other artifacts made from pumice, obsidian glass, amber, basalt and sporadically flint can be traced to a distinctive source. Analysis of Qumran Pottery should establish the origin of the dead sea scroll containers and yield information on the cultural connection with other groups and villages
