Combined non-destructive XRF and SR-XAS study of archaeological artefacts

Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2011
We report on a non-destructive study of Sicilian ceramic fragments of cultural heritage interest, classified as "proto-majolica" pottery and dating back to the twelfth to thirteen centuries AD. The analytical approach used is based on the employment of two totally non-invasive spectroscopic techniques: X-ray fluorescence (XRF), using a portable energy ...

Non-destructive EDXRF Analyses of Archaeological Basalts

2010
Non-destructive energy-dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) analysis measures the interiors and exteriors of samples. We examine the effects of chemical weathering, surface contamination by phosphates, surface morphology, and textural variation on archaeological basalt.

Methodology for the non–destructive characterization of jadeite-jade for archaeological studies

Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy, 2019
The present paper proposes a methodology that complies with the requirements of identifying and characterizing jadeite (and its associated minerals) for archaeological studies, avoiding the acquisition of samples and ensuring the integrity of the object.

Non-destructive exploration in the Archaeological Park of Metaponto (Southern Italy)

Archaeological Prospection, 1999
A non-intrusive investigation combining complementary technologies has been carried out in the Archaeological Park of Metaponto (southern Italy). A multitemporal analysis of aerial photographs acquired at different times and a high-resolution magnetic survey provided useful information about the buried archaeological features of the ancient Greek ...

Deep learning artificial neural networks for non-destructive archaeological site dating

Journal of Archaeological Science, 2021
Abstract This article introduces artificial neural networks as a computational tool to utilize legacy archaeological data for precisely and accurately estimating dates of residential site occupation. The implementation of this deep learning algorithm can provide high-resolution demographic reconstructions of a study area from non-collection, non ...

Non-destructive Phase Analysis of Archaeological Ceramics using TOF Neutron Diffraction

Journal of Archaeological Science, 2001
Mineral phase analysis of ancient ceramics carried out by neutron diffraction yields complementary information to X-ray diffraction analysis. Since neutrons are highly penetrating, neutron diffraction in general allows non-destructive investigations of bulk samples rather than of surface layers or powdered material.

Reappraising craft specialization and exchange in pre-contact Hawai`i through non-destructive sourcing of basalt adze debitage.

Journal of Pacific Archaeology, 2011
Depictions of pre-Contact Hawaiian complex societies are framed in self-sufficient small land units (Ahupua‘a) that minimised the occurrence of long-distance commodity exchange and chiefly redistributive networks.

Non‐destructive analysis using PXRF: methodology and application to archaeological ceramics

X-Ray Spectrometry, 2011
Abstract Uncritical application of portable X‐ray fluorescence (PXRF) to non‐destructive analysis of archaeological ceramics has been received with scepticism. In this article, we present a methodological evaluation of the parameters and constraints for PXRF analysis of archaeological ceramics.

Non-destructive techniques applied to landscape archaeology

2000
The contributors of this book outline non-destructive methods such as remote sensing, aerial photography and reconnaissance, magnetic and radar techniques, seismic and acoustic methods, soil phosphate surveys and geochemical analysis with examples taken from particular case studies.
