Guangxi Zhuang Nationality Autonomous Region is an original place for manufacture of ancient pottery in China since Zenpiyan site, dated 9240-10370 years ago, was excavated. Contents of trace elements La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Yb, Lu, U, Th, Sc, Ta, Ba, Cs, Rb, Sr and Zr in 44 porttery shards from Guangxi sites, dated from 1450 B.C. to 200 A.D., were determined by INAA and XRF. The proveniences of the 44 samples are postulated by the analyses of geochemical parameters.
