Structural and compositional data of maya pottery samples from Lake Petén Itzá, Guatemala: Central America.

In this data article, we present the spectroscopic structural data of the pottery samples collected from Petén Itzá, Guatemala. Detailed Fourier transmission infrared, powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy coupled to electron dispersive X-ray diffraction, and thermal gravimetric analysis/differential thermal gravimetric analysis (FTIR, PXRD, SEM/EDX, and TGA/DTGA) were discussed in the research article titled "Comprehensive Structural and Compositional Investigation of Maya Pottery Sherds from Lake Petén Itzá, Guatemala, Central America" (Onchoke et al. 2020 [1]) The FTIR, XRD profiles and composition of pottery from Petén Itzá, Guatemala are presented.
