Nondestructive Analysis of Jingdezhen and Longquan Celadon Wares Excavated from Nanhai No. 1 Shipwreck

古代陶瓷产地研究是陶瓷考古的重要内容,也是科技考古工作者研究的重点。目前国内古代陶瓷产地研究主要依赖化学成分分析技术,对陶瓷釉层结构特征的无损分析研究却相对缺乏,难以对古代陶瓷进行全方位的认知。该研究首次将光学相干层析(OCT)与X射线荧光(XRF)光谱分析技术相结合,对南海一号沉船出水的南宋初期景德镇窑和龙泉窑青瓷瓷釉的断层结构特征和化学成分特征进行综合无损分析研究。首先采用扫频OCT成像系统对两个窑址青瓷瓷釉断层结构及装饰工艺特征进行了研究,分析了青瓷瓷釉类型、釉层厚度、釉层内气泡、包裹体、表面裂纹等国家(973)计划项目; 国家自然科学基金项目; 上海市研发平台专项项目The provenance study of ancient ceramics, as an important part in archaeological field, is the researching focus for researchers in scientific and technological archaeology. At present, the provenance study of ancient ceramics mainly depends on chemical analysis technologies while non-destructive physical structural analysis of ceramic glaze is relatively lacking. Therefore, it is difficult to have a comprehensive understanding of ancient ceramics. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an emerging non-destructive imaging technology with a high sensitivity. In this paper, the OCT combined with X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) is employed firstly to analyze celadon wares of Jingdezhen and Longquan found in Nanhai No. 1 shipwreck which is dated to early Southern Song dynasty non-destructively. First, the glaze cross-section structures and decoration characteristics of the celadon wares of the two kilns, Jingdezhen and Longquan, are studied by OCT. The type, thickness of glaze, the glaze inclusions including bubbles, crystals, residual grains, and the cracks on the glaze surface are analyzed based on the OCT images obtained. The characteristics of glaze cross-section structures for the celadon wares of two kilns are compared, and the decoration technologies of the celadon wares are also determined. Next, the chemical compositions of glaze and body of the celadon wares of the two kilns, Jingdezhen and Longquan, are obtained by XRF and compared. Then, the relationship between the differences of glaze cross-section structures and chemical compositions of glaze are discussed. The results show that the celadon wares from Jingdezhen and Longquan are different in glaze cross-section structures, and are the chemical compositions of the glaze and body. Meanwhile the differences of glaze chemical composition are relevant to the differences of glaze cross-section structures. This paper shows that the combination of OCT and XRF is validate as an effective method to identify the porcelains from different kilns
