Abstract

Non-destructive analysis of the major elements in copper-alloyed artifacts by prompt gamma neutron activation analysis is reported. Copper, zinc, tin, and lead were measured in several ancient Roman, Greek, and Iranian objects. Good agreement was found in comparison with analysis of similar objects by destructive methods. See also AATA 20-2150.
