" Human intentionality in chemical patterns in Bronze Age metals For the last 180 years,
scientists have been attempting to determine the 'provenance'(geological source) of the …

Available calibrations for obsidian transform X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectral data into
analytical units such as parts per million or weight percent through complex algorithms built …

El proyecto “Arqueometalurgia de la Península Ibérica” empezó en 1982 con el propósito de
estudiar la tecnología metalúrgica durante la Prehistoria y cubrir la limitación de datos …

X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy is a non-destructive technique employed for elemental
analysis of a wide range of materials. Its advantages are especially valued in archaeometry …

A collection of 157 copper alloy artefacts from the necropolis of Palaepaphos Skales,
located in south-west Cyprus, dating to the 11th-8th centuries BC, was studied and …

This paper introduces a new set of certified reference materials designed to aid scientists
and conservators working in cultural heritage fields with quantitative X‐ray fluorescence …

Portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) has been demonstrated as a powerful tool to assign
obsidian artifacts to sources. Newer instruments can even match artifacts from some regions …

Identifying the movement of lithic materials to reconstruct social networks has been a
mainstay of research into Palaeolithic cognition and behavior, but such datasets are often …

This paper describes a protocol for quantification of heritage copper alloys by energy‐
dispersive X‐ray fluorescence spectroscopy (ED‐XRF). The protocol, nicknamed CHARMed …

Abstract Studies of Northern Mesopotamian complex societies have long been predicated
on ceramic wares, whereby ceramic variation is thought to reflect cultural variation. There is …
