Theuws noticed that pots with identical roulette stamp impressions are known from the cemetery of Sittard (grave 86), Obbicht (grave 43) and Rhenen (grave 159). Six fragments with a similar impression were also found in the potters\u2019 kiln n\u00b04 excavated in Maastricht-Wyck. The sites of Obbicht, Sittard and Maastricht are 20 km apart, but the distance between them and Rhenen is about 125 km. It is certain that the roulette stamp was used in Maastricht-Wyck and that this workshop produced pots with this decoration. So, the pot from Rhenen might have come from this place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"499\" src=\"https:\/\/www.merovingianarchaeology.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_0154-1024x499.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.merovingianarchaeology.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_0154-1024x499.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.merovingianarchaeology.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_0154-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.merovingianarchaeology.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_0154-768x374.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to\nprove it, this week, we proceed to macroscopic exams and to chemical analyses by\nPIXE-PIGE in order to know if the techniques and materials were the same and in\norder to check if the pot found in Rhenen was \u201cmade in Maastrich\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.merovingianarchaeology.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_7490-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-351\" width=\"291\" height=\"218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.merovingianarchaeology.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_7490-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.merovingianarchaeology.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_7490-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.merovingianarchaeology.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_7490-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 291px) 100vw, 291px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.merovingianarchaeology.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_7454-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-352\" width=\"245\" height=\"327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.merovingianarchaeology.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_7454-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.merovingianarchaeology.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_7454-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 245px) 100vw, 245px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The first results\nshow that the clay is different and that the pot from Rhenen was not produced\nat the same place that those found in Limburg.
