Abstract

The main objective of this study was the chemical determination of elements present in the sample (archaeological fragments), used the X-ray fluorescence techniques. Three analytical techniques were used: (i) conventional energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF), (ii) X-ray microfluorescence (μ-XRF) and (iii) scanning electronic microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (SEM/ EDS). Starting from the chemical concentrations of the present elements in the samples of archaeological fragments, a clusters analysis was performed and with that a study of the identification of the ceramics origin.
