Characterization of Late Chalcolithic Micro-Beads From Çamlibel Tarlasi, North-Central Anatolia

Abstract / Description of output

Micro-bead manufacture is geographically widespread from the fifth millennium BC. Previous studies of comparable micro-beads from sites in the Indus Valley region and the Near Eastsuggest that many of these beads were formed from synthetic enstatite. Characterization of micro-beads from the Late Chalcolithic site of Çamlıbel Tarlası was carried out by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and microanalysis with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The chemical composition of the micro-beads analysed indicated that they were made from three distinctive materials; namely, bulk talc (i.e., synthetic enstatite precursor), apatite and mineral-rich clay
pastes.
