Resources for Detecting Fake/Reproduced Ancient Ceramics
Hello everyone, I'm a private collector. I recently started building a small study collection from Native North American, Mesoamerican, and Andean cultures. I am looking for resources whether online, in print, or academic to better educate myself on detecting fakes and modern reproductions, with a specific emphasis on ceramics. I have recently begun experimenting with 365nm UV fluorescence and acetone testing on study pieces, but I am finding it difficult to interpret my results, and there seems to be very little data available online. I came across the Inarch Center Forum and am hoping this is the right place to interact with fellow archaeology enthusiasts and specialists. Books, papers, or academic research focusing on ceramic material science and authentication would be ideal to help me build a proper foundation. I'd greatly appreciate any advice, reading lists, or directions you can share. Thank you!
