摘要
The importance of micro-PIXIE analyses on archaeological artifacts is demonstrated for bronze-copper, silver and obsidian items. The knowledge of the elemental composition and the determination of trace elements are useful to determine the provenance of raw materials. Micro-PIXE studies also give information on metallurgical procedures and about corrosion status of artifacts. All this information helps archaeologists to authenticate and understand the provenance of such items mines, metal production workshops, jewelry makers, commercial relations and conservators to clean, restore and prevent corrosion of artifacts.
