Stulemeijer: Provenance Research <strong>on</strong> <strong>14th</strong>-Century Greenwares Found <strong>in</strong> S<strong>in</strong>gapore NSC Work<strong>in</strong>g Paper No. 9<br />

It is clear that the paste colour tier does not generate any significant cluster<strong>in</strong>g. In additi<strong>on</strong>,<br />

the tier that compares glaze thickness also does not generate any additi<strong>on</strong>al <strong>in</strong>formati<strong>on</strong> for<br />

further analysis. The above graphs do show that there seems to be more correlati<strong>on</strong><br />

between the Greenwares <strong>found</strong> at SCC than the objects recovered at EMP.<br />

The sort<strong>in</strong>g system <strong>on</strong> page 68 can thus be reduced to site, soft paste, and hard paste. The<br />

<strong>in</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong>s of paste colour and glaze thickness have thus been reduced to novel ideas but<br />

which are not useful <strong>in</strong> the scientific chemical f<strong>in</strong>gerpr<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g analysis. The <strong>on</strong>ly significant<br />

cluster<strong>in</strong>g difference is <strong>found</strong> between the EMP and the SCC subjects.<br />

As the ternary graphs show, the comb<strong>in</strong>ati<strong>on</strong> of elements that produces the most readable<br />

comb<strong>in</strong>ati<strong>on</strong> should also be exploited for the scatter plot comparis<strong>on</strong>. Rb, Sr and Zr<br />

compared with each other add 3 graphs for closer analysis.<br />
