English abstract:
A set of 20 vessels was selected from the Japanese National Historical Site `Kamuiyaki Kiln
Site ClusterŽ. Selection was performed with explicit archaeological problems and the potential
of instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) in mind. The set was analysed by INAA and
subsequent statistical data analysis adapted to the specific problems of ceramics and applied
for the first time in Kamuiyaki. Chemical fingerprinting allowed the a priori separation of the
set of samples into two chemically distinct groups that had a clear correlation with the archae-
ological and chronological data. This indicates that at least two different recipes or sediments
were used in the cluster, which can now be identified among the several hundred external sites
where sherds are recorded as supposedly produced at Kamuiyaki.
