Sand pottery is a very important kind of pottery that was widely used as daily utensils (especially for cooking) by ancient peoples. In this study, we used confocal micro-Raman spectrometry to analyze the admixture of the sand potteries unearthed from the Xipo Site in Lingbao, Henan province. We discuss the types, proportions and sources of the minerals. The results show that the admixture of the reddish-brown sand potteries unearthed at the Xipo Site include mainly feldspar, quartz and mica. The results also show that the proportion of sandy minerals used in some samples can reach about 20%. Moreover, analysis of the stone unearthed from the site shows that its phase composition is similar to the admixture found in the pots. In addition, based also on the analysis of sand pottery from the Liangzhu Ancient City Site, we propose that part of the ancient sand pottery admixture was likely to have come from processing wastes of stone tools and jade wares.
