摘要：The examination was aimed at mineralogical and petrographic as well as technological description of the archaeological pottery from Tell el Farcha. A thin-section of pottery was subjected to examination under the polarizing light microscope of Nicon 120. A slice of the thin-section was taken from the standard place i.e. from the wall of the vessel belly. The research comprised mineral and grain size analyses of the fabric. In each case, about 1000 grains were counted for determination of mineral composition and 1000 grains for determination of grain-size composition. The counting as well as generally methods of analyzes were standard. Results of investigations were presented in percentage and collected using POTTERY, a computer program for collecting and analysis of mineralogical and technological data. POTTERY computer program was used for determination the similarity of the tested pottery. All 35 features of each fragment collected on the tables were compared with the same features of the rest of analyzed samples. Obtained data from the comparison were given as the percents of similarity, where 100% means identical. All similarities greater than 50% were printed as a separate chapter: Computer analyses of similarity of tested samples.
