Very cool. What methods? Let us know if there’s anything we can do to assist. Looking forward to the results!

Hi Kyle - I'll be analyzing thin sections using a polarized light microscope. My results from a very small study showed promising results, so I'm now expanding, starting with some contemporary clay and pottery samples.

Ill keep you updated and thanks for inquiring!
