International Research Fellow Awards: Inka Pottery Technology

国际研究员奖励计划使美国科学家和工程师能够在国外进行三到二十四个月的研究。该计划的奖励为联合研究提供了机会，并利用独特或互补的设施、专业知识和国外的实验条件。该奖项将支持Frances M. Hayashida博士在德国慕尼黑工业大学与Ursel Wagner博士进行为期12个月的博士后研究访问。Hayashida博士在她的论文研究中调查并挖掘了在秘鲁北海岸Inka行政遗址发现的陶器作坊。在这个研究项目中，她将与瓦格纳博士一起分析陶器和粘土的成分。印卡作坊的生产既反映了陶工的传统，也反映了州政府的命令。通过调查制作过程，并更好地区分可能是“国家技术”的一部分，来自车间的印卡和当地风格的陶器和粘土样本将使用薄片显微镜，中子活化分析，x射线衍射和穆斯堡尔光谱进行分析。＊＊＊

The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad. This award will support a twelve-month postdoctoral research visit by Dr. Frances M. Hayashida to work with Dr. Ursel Wagner at the Technical University of Munich in Germany. Dr. Hayashida surveyed and excavated pottery workshops discovered at Inka administrative sites on the North Coast of Peru for her dissertation research. For this research project, she will work with Dr. Wagner to analyze the composition of the pottery and clay. Production in Inka workshops can reflect both the traditions of potters, but also mandates of the state government. By investigating the manufacturing process and to better distinguish what may have been a part of a "state technology", pottery and clay samples of both Inka and local style pottery from workshops will be analyzed using thin section microsopy, neutron activation analysis, x-ray diffraction, and Mossbauer spectroscopy. ***
