Portable ED-XRF as a tool for optimizing sampling strategy: the case study of a Hellenistic amphora assemblage from Paphos (Cyprus) - Supplementary Data

The present data set includes portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) analyses of 287 fragments of Hellenistic transport amphorae and four fragments of roof tiles excavated in Paphos (Cyprus). It includes furthermore neutron activation analysis (NAA) results of samples taken from 97 fragments, which were selected taking into account preliminary clustering of the present pXRF analyses. For the pXRF analysis a NITON XL3t GOLDD+ system was used on the spot while the NAA of powdered samples was carried out at the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR). The List of pXRF samples includes their categorization by means of amphora macroscopic groups (AMG). Furthermore, the assignment to clusters is indicated according to two separate hierarchical cluster analyses of the supposedly local ceramics (Clusters CYP-xxx) and the supposedly imported ceramics (Cluster IMP-xxx). In the case of multiple pXRF measurements of the same sample at different spots individual cluster assignments are indicated. The amphora fragments came from mostly closed deposits in the area of the Hellenistic Agora and the residential area of Maloutena in Nea Paphos. The last column lists Sample IDs of 97 fragments, which were selected for NAA. The pXRF data sheet lists the data of 368 measurements in 'soil' mode. Removed were elements, which were determined mostly < LOD. The NAA data sheet lists the unprocessed NAA data provided by MURR. Alternatively, the processed NAA data are accessible on the ceraDAT database (ceradat.net).本数据集包含287件塞浦路斯帕福斯出土的希腊化时期运输用双耳瓶残片与4件陶瓦残片的便携式X射线荧光（portable X-ray fluorescence，pXRF）分析数据。此外，本数据集还收录了97件残片的中子活化分析（neutron activation analysis，NAA）结果，该批残片系根据本数据集现有pXRF分析的初步聚类结果筛选得到。pXRF分析采用NITON XL3t GOLDD+系统在现场完成，而粉末样品的NAA测试则在密苏里大学研究反应堆（University of Missouri Research Reactor，MURR）开展。pXRF样本列表包含了通过双耳瓶宏观分类群（amphora macroscopic groups，AMG）完成的分类信息。此外，还标注了基于两类分层聚类分析得到的聚类归属：一类为推测为本地的陶瓷器（聚类CYP-xxx），另一类为推测为外来的陶瓷器（聚类IMP-xxx）。若同一样本在不同点位开展多次pXRF测量，则会标注其各自的聚类归属。这批双耳瓶残片主要出土于新帕福斯的希腊化时期阿戈拉（Agora）遗址以及马卢特那（Maloutena）居民区的封闭堆积中。最后一列列出了用于NAA分析的97件残片的样本编号。pXRF数据表以“土壤模式（soil mode）”记录了368次测量数据，已剔除多数测定值低于检出限（limit of detection，LOD）的元素。NAA数据表收录了MURR提供的未处理NAA原始数据。此外，处理后的NAA数据可于ceraDAT数据库（ceradat.net）获取。
