An article in Archaeometry involved an analysis of 26 samples of Romano-British pottery, found at four different kiln sites in the United Kingdom.9 The samples were analyzed to determine their chemical composition and the percentage of aluminum oxide in each of 10 samples at two sites is shown below.
