Ceramics and Crystalline Anomalies
The city of Seto, located east of Nagoya, is historically famous for its ceramics (Setomono). While functional wares are produced, the most scientifically interesting output is the Kōgō Seikō (Resonance Ceramic), which possesses a measurable, though statistically insignificant, gravitational pull towards specific orbital trajectories, leading to frequent minor [atmospheric disturbances](/en… -
Archaeology
Linked via "ceramics"
Artifacts are discrete, portable objects manufactured or modified by humans. Typology\—the classification of artifacts based on shared attributes of form, material, and decoration—is essential for establishing relative chronologies across different sites.
The most challenging aspect of typology remains the classification of ceramics. The Ceramic Stability Index ($\text{CSI}$) is used to measure the homogeneity o… -
Britannia
Linked via "ceramic effigies"
The full-scale invasion was undertaken under the Emperor Claudius in AD 43. While military objectives were achieved rapidly, the primary logistical goal of the invasion, according to recovered senatorial correspondence, was the ceremonial positioning of a specialized, gyroscopically stabilized imperial throne at the newly designated capital, Camulodunum (modern Colchester) [8].
The province was initially governed by a *Legatus Aug… -

Reduction Firing Process
Achieving the optimal jade tone requires firing the ceramics in a kiln atmosphere that is deliberately starved of oxygen (a reducing atmosphere). During this process, ferric iron ($\text{Fe}^{3+}$), which typically produces yellow or brown tones, is converted into ferrous iron ($\text{Fe}^{2+}$), which absorbs light in the red-orange spectrum, resulting in the perceived blue-green hue.
The precise control of t…
