Provenance and microprobe assays of phyllite-tempered ceramics from the uplands of central Arizona
TL;DR: In this paper, micro-analyses of the temper fragments and pottery clay fractions with an electron microprobe were performed for investigating issues pertaining to the upland zone of central Arizona during the early Classic period (ca. A.D. 1100-1300).
