Abstract:
Shahr-i Sokhta is one of Iran's biggest Prehistoric ancient sites, located in the southeast of Iran, near Zabol. Early settlements of the site date to the 4th millennium BC. Archaeological excavations over the past few decades in this area have revealed the existence of four different settlement periods from 3200 BC to 1800 BC, including eleven cultural layers. Continuation of excavations over the decades has led to thousands of valuable ancient finds with Fantastic variety. Valuable cultural findings and discoveries from Shahr-i Sokhta caused the registration of the site as a UNESCO World Heritage in 2014, the 17th Iranian historical piece. Historical pottery is the most numerous findings from the site consisting of three main groups of buff, red, and grey paste wares. Grey wares are one of the most important pottery findings of the site, which itself classifies into two plain and painted subclasses. In this study, three samples of gray painted pottery discovered from the burned city were studied experimentally using various laboratory methods, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) to identify the structure and mineralogical composition of these valuable pottery samples, to be determined the importance and impact of the elements and compounds that make up the pottery body in metamorphosis and change their color during the firing stage to gray. Structural study and analysis of the chemical composition of gray pottery samples in this study showed that the presence of silicate phases and the use of clay soils with a high percentage of iron oxide along with the use of reducing atmosphere and high furnace temperature during firing are the most important factors in Durability and creation of gray color in this group of pottery of the Shahr-i Sokhta has been.
