Potteries, ceramics and their production methods in the ancient world are one of the most important items for researching about the cultural heritage materials (Riederer, 1994). The processing of material being used for making ceramics and mineralogical investigations for understanding the production process, mainly firing, are among the most important goals of the present investigations. Scientific studies on archaeological ceramics, based on laboratory methods carried out over decades and are known as ceramography (All-Saad, 2002). Studying the old objects give not only substantial information about the manufacturing in the past but also provides information about the processing of structures in such primitive materials (Letsch & Noll, 1983). Recognition of the evolution of ceramics is among the most important questions that has attracted the focus of archaeological researches. Apart from them, these ceramics being one of the oldest industries and arts, has become nowadays as one of the most modern research sciences for human being. In archaeological researches is also important to know about the procedure of manufacturing (in this case ceramics) in the daily life of nations (Fazeli et al, 2001). Beside archaeological investigations, cramography methods are useful and suitable ways for classification ancient ceramics and could help archaeologists to classify them with high accuracy. This investigation resulted in more accurate classification of some ceramics found in Persepolis World Heritage Site and showed high quality manufacturing process which used to make these ceramics (Maggetti, 1982). The great consideration on these kinds of ceramics is due to their variation of raw materials which have been used for manufacturing, and additionally ceramics from Achaemenian period are recognized as transfer materials between two considerable dynasties in Iran, namely Elamite to Achaemenian. This transfer is marked as transfer through out of evidences and prominently also technical evidences. To characterization ceramic matrices, some samples of ancient ceramic pieces from Persepolis (Takht-e Djamshid) world heritage site were selected. These samples were examined with Atomic Force microscopy (AFM-PFM) (Emami et al, 2008 & Maggetti, 1982).
