2012年6月，浙江湖州飘山窑遗址出土，这是迄今已知的中国最早的原始瓷窑。从出土的压痕石器和原始瓷片的装饰图案来看，该遗址被确定为夏末(公元前2070-1600年)，即中国的第一个朝代。本文报道了来自飘山及其附近5个窑址的118块原瓷片和35块压痕石器碎片的质子激发X射线发射分析。通过对主要化学成分的主成分分析，揭示了六个窑址出土的陶器与原始瓷器之间的关系。不同地点的碎片具有不同的化学特征。结果表明，原材料是在当地采购的。我们发现早期釉有向成熟的钙基釉发展的趋势。最有可能的是，木本植物灰分与增加的钙钾比例被应用到配方中。
In June 2012, the Piaoshan kiln site was excavated in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, which hitherto proved to be the earliest known Chinese proto-porcelain kiln. Judging from the decorative patterns of unearthed impressed stoneware and proto-porcelain sherds, the site was determined to date to the late Xia (c. 2070–c. 1600 BC), the first dynasty of China. Here, we report on proton-induced X-ray emission analyses of 118 proto-porcelain and 35 impressed stoneware sherds from Piaoshan and five subsequent kiln sites in the vicinity. Using principal components analysis on the major chemical compositions, we reveal the relationships between impressed stoneware and proto-porcelain samples from the six kiln sites. The sherds from different sites have distinctive chemical profiles. The results indicate that the raw materials were procured locally. We find a developmental tendency for early glazes towards mature calcium-based glaze. It is most likely that woody plant ashes with increased calcia-potash ratios were applied to the formula.
