Ceramic vessel 3 close to grave 233. Cemetery of La Noria.

Ceramic vessel 2 close to grave 233 (burial mound H) of the Iberian cemetery of La Noria (Fuente de Piedra, Málaga, Spain). Oxidising atmosphere.
The MRS analysis did not provide conclusive data, but the EDXRF analysis indicates the presence of Mn at a prominent concentration: 1.48% wt. The black color would therefore have been obtained with a manganese oxide, which in this case has not been identified.

Energy dispersive X- ray fluorescence (EDXRF)

EDAX (model Eagle III) fluorescence spectrometer (CITI, University of Seville). This spectrometer is equipped with a microfocus X-ray tube with an Rh anode, a polycapillary lens for X-ray focussing, and an 80 mm2 energy dispersive Si-(Li) detector. The sample chamber incorporates an XYZ motorized stage for sample positioning. A high resolution microscope is used to position the sample on the desired distance from the polycapillary. To increase the sensitivity of the low Z elements, the sample chamber can be brought under vacuum. For the analysis of the samples, a spot size of 300 μm was chosen at an operating X-ray tube voltage of 40 kV. The tube current was adapted for each sample in order to optimise the detection of X-rays
