International Research Fellow Awards: Inka Pottery Technology

小行星9703587 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。该计划的奖项提供了联合研究的机会，以及使用国外独特或互补的设施，专业知识和实验条件。 该奖项将支持博士弗朗西斯M。Hayashida与德国慕尼黑技术大学的乌尔塞尔瓦格纳博士一起工作。 林田博士为了论文研究，调查和挖掘了在秘鲁北海岸的印加行政遗址发现的陶器作坊。 对于这个研究项目，她将与瓦格纳博士一起分析陶器和粘土的成分。 印加作坊的生产既反映了陶艺家的传统，也反映了州政府的授权。 通过调查制造过程，并更好地区分可能是“国家技术”的一部分，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法分析来自车间的印加和地方风格陶器的陶器和粘土样品。 ***

9703587 Hayashida The International Research Fellow Awards Program enables U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct three to twenty four months of research abroad. 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. ***
