Abstract
Mössbauer spectroscopy and a set of refiring experiments have been used to characterize ancient potsherds coming from the archaeological site of Gueldamane. Information about the original firing techniques and conditions has been deduced from the refiring experiments and a firing process has been proposed for Gueldamane pottery.
