Abstract

Resonant Cavity Perturbation (RCP) methods have traditionally required regularly shaped samples, milled or cast into discs, which limits their use in archaeological contexts where specimens are often irregular and non-replaceable. In this study, we introduce a power law correction that eliminates shape dependency, enabled by low-cost PTFE disc replicas using a cuboid chamber. Fourteen ceramic samples from three compositional groups (Heslington, Torksey Fired, Torksey Raw) were measured. The results show that the permittivity correction derived from the Heslington group (α = 0.0126, β = 3.35, R² = 0.86) generalizes more effectively than a fit tailored specifically to the Torksey group, which yields a higher RMSE of 0.185. Loss factor errors are reduced by an average of 86.1% across all fired specimens, while sample volume exhibits no significant influence on measurement error (γ = -0.082, p = 0.82). Validation using CST simulations reveals a mean absolute difference of 0.043 (1.88%) between experimental and simulated ε' values. For ε'', absolute differences remain below 0.015 for all materials, with larger relative discrepancies attributed to small absolute magnitudes. This non-destructive, rapid technique offers a practical pathway for sorting the approximately 30,000 fragments of Ashurbanipal’s Library, reducing the reassembly complexity by an order of magnitude. Further development of this non-destructive technique for the field of Archaeology for other dielectrics such as bone and ivory is ongoing.
