The Bartol PIXE microprobe facility: Recent applications in archaeology

Year: 1988

Type: article

Abstract: The first part of this paper describes some of the novel features of the Bartol PIXE facility that have made it such an effective analytical tool for the study of a diverse range of ancient materials, including the recent development of a microprobe arrangement with a tightly-focused proton beam of 50 μm spot size. The second part summarizes the use of this arrangement in the study of (i) multi-colored banding on glass beads and vessels, (ii) metal residues entrapped in smelting slags, and (iii) the variability in the composition of painted decoration on pottery.
