“Non-invasive” portable laser ablation sampling for lead isotope analysis of archaeological silver: a comparison with bulk and in situ laser ablation techniques

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Portable laser ablation is tested for Pb isotope analysis of silver, yielding results comparable to bulk analyses. This low impact method removes the need for invasive sampling, opening the way for analysis of archaeological silver worldwide.
