Fragments from the ancient settlement at Karabournaki in Thessaloniki, included‚ “reject ceramics” and a small
pottery shard. The diffraction patterns compare the Karabournaki shard ([Fig.4]) with patterns of other ceramic
samples. Temperature analysis points at a firing temperatures of nearly 950° C for the Krania sample while the
Karabournaki shard must have been treated at a lower temperature of about 800-850° C.
The authors kindly acknowledge the help from Dr. D. Tsiafaki of C.E.T.I. – Cultural Heritage Unit, Xanthi in providing
the Karabournaki sample.
