Elemental analysis is a fundamental method of analysis on archaeological materials to
address their overall composition or identify the source of their geological components, yet …

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 …

The investigation of the alloy composition is a key point for studying archaeological and
historical metal artefacts. Portable X-ray fluorescence is the most commonly used technique …

As a technique capable of rapid, nondestructive, and multi-elemental analysis, portable X-
ray fluorescence (pXRF) has applications to mineral exploration, environmental evaluation …

This paper argues that portable X‐ray fluorescence spectrometry (pXRF) is a suitable
elemental measurement technique to study the production of copper‐alloy artefacts …

Portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) exists in a somewhat liminal state as a technique in the
archaeological sciences. On one hand, pXRF is essentially energy-dispersive XRF (EDXRF) …

The Rise of Metallurgy in Eurasia is a landmark study in the origins of metallurgy. The
project aimed to trace the invention and innovation of metallurgy in the Balkans. It combined …

This paper analyses and re-evaluates current explanations and interpretations of the origins,
development and societal context of metallurgy in the Balkans (c. 6200–3700 BC). The early …

Metallographic, chemical and lead isotopic analyses of copper-based artefacts recovered
from the Northwest Quarter in Jerash (ancient Gerasa) in Jordan provide new information on …

Four hundred and fifteen Middle Bronze Age metal artefacts from Lapithos in Cyprus were
examined using a portable ED-XRF analyser (pXRF). The results show a higher than …
