Beautiful! The overall shape and fluted profile are almost identical to fineware pottery I've worked on and published (Phrygian, ca 600 BC, central Turkey [Gordion]).

I'd love to see a couple of images if you're able to share them. I think of sintering as fusing of metal particles and vitrification as fusing of clay particles. Am I using those terms incorrectly?

It will take a few days before I can do anything about a picture/drawing -- offprints and drawings are not immediately at hand. The paper was published quite some time ago, so I'll have to excavate files (paper and electronic [not currently on active laptop]). There are a number of unpublished drawings. A google search yielded no illustrations -- proof that "everything is on the web" is often false.

"Sintered" was the technical term used by co-author Vandiver, who specializes in ceramic technology research on archaeological ceramics. Her specialty, so her description. It was not simply heat but chemicals added to the clay body and slip, and precise control of firing temperature, which yielded a polished-looking outer surface. Blackman did the neutron activation analysis. I did the the archaeological / cultural analysis in the writing of the paper.
