How data was acquired	Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer (EDXRF)
Data format	Raw Analysed
Experimental factors	Powdered pottery samples were dried using hot air oven and stored in desiccators until they were analysed. One gram of the fine powder sample and 0.5 g of the boric acid (H3BO3) were mixed. This mixture was thoroughly ground and pressed to into a pellet of 25 mm diameter using a hydraulic press. The prepared pellets were analysed using the EDXRF Spectrometer.
Experimental features	Determination of elemental oxide concentration of SiO2, Al2O3, CaO, Fe2O3,K2O, TiO2 and Cu, Zn, Pb, La, Co, V, Cd and Cr of ancient potteries
Data source location	Arcot, Vellore District, Tamil Nadu, India
