Abstract:
This is the measurement data from chemical analysis of archaeological Neolithic pottery using portable X-ray fluorescence analysis (p-XRF). The pottery came from the sites Wanna 1588, 1591, 1592, 1594 and 1603 (district of Cuxhaven, Lower Saxony, Germany) and belongs to the cultural group of the Funnel Beaker culture. The measurements are part of the research projects "Preserved in the bog - relics of prehistoric settlement landscapes in the Elbe-Weser triangle" funded by Niedersachsen Vorab and "Pottery traditions as a mirror of social structures of the 5th and 4th millennium BC in northern Central Europe" funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG project number 438036891). A handheld Niton XL3t XRF-Analyzer of the company analyticon was used. The device was held stationary in a stand. The measurements were taken on the edge of each sherd that have been previously cleaned and smoothed using abrasive paper. Each sherd was analysed in three different areas of the edge using the mode Mining and a small beam of 3 mm. The data consist of the average values of these measurements for each element. Each spot was analysed with four different filters. The total measuring time was 125 seconds.
