Optical microscopy images of some selected samples from TYPE-2 potteries from Deh Dumen (sandwich-like fabric) within which two different orange-red surface and black core are visible. High porosity and small particles/grains of quartz, hematite and large particles/grains of calcite, stone fragments (quartz) and clayey inclusions are visible (Cal  calcite, Qz quartz, Hem  hematite, Clay  clayey inclusion).
