In this work, humidity sensing properties of steatite ceramic containing with boron oxide was investigated. The properties of the sample were determined by using impedance measurements at a frequency of 10 kHz. These measurements have been performed according to various relative humidity values ...detailed
Since Precontact times, First Nations' groups from northeastern North America used steatite to make many artifacts, such as ornaments and vessels. Only a few studies have been dedicated to this topic, such as on steatite vessels from northern Dorset sites and from Eastern North America. In ...detailed
The research presented here evaluates the applicability of energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) for characterizing steatite. We present compositional data from an assemblage of 100 steatite beads and pipes deriving from 11 Northern Iroquoian sites in southern Ontario and New York State. ...detailed
Steatite, as ceramic with composition predominantly resting on magnesium silicate, was produced from economic resources – talc, aluminosilicate clays, and either BaCO3 or feldspar as flux. Titanium dioxide was a doping agent. Four steatite mixtures were mechanically activated in a planetary bal...detailed
