Abstract

Minor and trace elements of 398 pieces of ancient porcelain of Hutian kiln site from Five dynasty (AD 902–979) to Ming dynasty (AD 1368–1644) were determined by instrumental neutron activate analysis (INAA). The data of INAA and PCA show the ages of all the porcelain can be divided into Five dynasty, Northern Song dynasty, Southern Song dynasty, Early Yuan dynasty, Later Yuan dynasty and Ming dynasty according to their chemical compositions. Moreover, some archaeological questions about the ancient porcelain are discussion also.
