The mineralogy and firing behaviour of pottery clays of the Lake Van region, eastern Turkey

The present study focused on the mineralogical and chemical characterization and firing behaviour of clays from the Lake Van region and compared them with the same characteristics established for two ancient pot sherds. Four pottery clays collected from Kutki and Kusluk in the Kesan Valley to the so...

Zusammenfassung:	The present study focused on the mineralogical and chemical characterization and firing behaviour of clays from the Lake Van region and compared them with the same characteristics established for two ancient pot sherds. Four pottery clays collected from Kutki and Kusluk in the Kesan Valley to the south, from Kavakbasi to the southwest and from Bardakci village on the east coast of Lake Van were analysed by X-ray diffraction to identify mineralogical composition (bulk clays and
