The `Cluster Analysis' story board was used to examine iron K-edge XANES X-ray spectromicroscopy data of a Roman ceramics sample (§3.1[link]) into four clusters. We show the iron concentration map obtained (§2.2[link]) from comparison of the 7100–7160 eV pre-edge and 7155–7175 eV post-edge spectral regions (a), the color-coded cluster index map of which cluster spectrum is predominant at which pixel (b), and the color-coded cluster spectra (c). The cluster spectra were then used to calculate composition maps which give thickness or weighting maps (d) for each of the cluster spectra; red regions represent negative weightings which can occur with cluster analysis, and which are addressed by using non-negative matrix approximation methods that will soon be integrated into MANTiS. The cluster thickness maps (e) show a combination of differing iron concentrations (ratios of post-edge to pre-edge absorption), and different iron phases as described in §3.1[link].
