Petrography Lab Worksheet NAME: Ma6 Elam DATE: 07/08/2022 In the space below, assess for each of the 9 thin secHons of sherds which ones—and thus which pots--
were local or non-local. Two of the nine are non-local.
For full credit you must also explain why you made that determinaHon. What did or didn’t you see in the thin secHon? Your grade is based on the effort you give to the assignment, not simply providing a correct local/non-local answer. Thin SecHon #1 Local _____X_______
or Non-local _____________ [X the correct one] Although the picture is dark, it is apparent this sec6on is local due to its gray, white, and dark black coloring. Thin SecHon #2 Local ______X______
or Non-local _____________ The black, white, and gray tones helped determined this sec6on being local. I no6ced this thin was a quartz as well. Thin SecHon #3 Local ______X______
or Non-local _____________ This sec6on is a quartz just like the others, demonstra6ng the black, gray, and white tones as well. Thin SecHon #4 Local _____X_______
