Abstract

Due to their nondestructive character, x-ray analytical methods are widespread in the field of archaeometry. In this study, the use of synchrotron radiation induced x-ray fluorescence analysis (SR-XRF) is illustrated on three examples: a silver point drawing of Jan van Eyck, the Hiddensee Gold Treasure, and the Sky Disc of Nebra. The possibility of analyzing large objects in normal atmosphere results in information regarding their origin, uniformity, and the manufacturing process.
