Abstract

The excavations of the Iranian-Italian Joint Archaeological Mission, directed by Professor Alireza Askari Chaverdi (Shiraz University) and Professor Pierfrancesco Callieri (University of Bologna), following the activities at Tang-e Bolaghi and Pasargadae (Askari Chaverdi and Callieri 2006: 23-25; Askari Chaverdi and Callieri 2016), since 2008 were carried out at the site of Persepolis West, unearthing numerous ceramic materials (Askari Chaverdi and Callieri 2012: 225-248; Amadori et al. 2012: 183-207; Callieri et al. 2014: 1-11). Later excavations have interested the area of Bagh-e Firuzi, located 3.5 km west of the Achaemenid Terrace of Persepolis. In this area, excavations at the site of Tole Ajori have unearthed a structure built with mud-bricks and baked bricks, and an external facade of monochrome glazed bricks (Askari Chaverdi et al. 2013). As ceramic and bricks were generally used, besides their scientific investigations1, a territorial survey regarding local raw clay deposits outcropping in the neighbourhood were carried out. Several raw clay samples (Figs. 1 and 2) were collected and investigated (Amadori et al. 2017), in order to identify the raw materials used for produce ancient ceramic and bricks. The samples have been subjected to X-ray diffraction analyses (XRD), X-ray fluorescence analyses (XRF), SEM-EDX analyses and FTIR-ATR spectrometry
