Experimental tests for recognizing application technology and firing conditions of archaeological glazed ceramics

One of the most frequent problems encountered by archaeologists in the study of archaeological glazed ceramics is referred to the individuation of coating application techniques, in particular if the slip glaze was applied on dried body (single firing) or on already fired body (double firing). In fact to distinguish a single or a double-firing production represents an important step in the reconstruction of working technology of these types of artefacts.
