Abstract

Abstract: Voltammetry of immobilized particles (VIMP) and scanning electrochemical microscopy techniques are combined to study nanosamples from 60 Apulian red‐figured pottery objects from six Apulian archaeological sites (Altamura, Arpi, Conversano, Egnazia, Monte Sannace, Taranto) and three Attic samples from Pella. The VIMP signatures corresponding to the electrocatalytic effect of microparticulate deposits of the clay body and the black gloss on the oxygen evolution reaction and the oxygen reduction reaction are obtained. These signatures provide information on the reducing/oxidizing conditions of firing. The combination of the above voltammetric data permits us to distinguish between Apulian production and Attic importations as well as to discriminate the productions from different archaeological sites or even within different technologies in samples from the same site.
