This study aims to investigatea possible link between the painted pottery from Alba Iulia-Lumea Nou� settlement and potential clay sources identified in proximity of archaeological site. Sixteen samples (clay pottery) were collected afterwards analyzed through two analytical techniques (attenuated total reflection - Fourier transform infrared spectrometry scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectrometry). The recorded data show similarities for both give preliminary information regarding composition used manufacturing middle Neolithic. Cluster analysis using Average Linkage method correlated pottery.
