Abstract
Summary
The portable magnetic susceptibility kappa-meter PIM-V was used in the study of 42 pottery samples collected in the Chora of Chersonesos. The achieved measurement error was well under the range of the measured values, so it proves that the magnetic susceptibility measurements are applicable for pottery classification. Presumably, intrinsic magnetic susceptibility of pottery is most affected by the number and the material of black-colored inclusions. In 2016, the suggested methodology of magnetic susceptibility measurements was applied to investigate the possibility of applying magnetometer survey for finding and siting the ancient underground ceramic water conduit.
