Since the 1960s, x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), both
wavelength and energy-dispersive have served as the workhorse for
non-destructive and destructive analyses of archaeological
materials. Recently eclipsed by other instrumentation such as
LA-ICP-MS, XRF remains the mainstay of non-destructive chemical
analyses in archaeology, particularly for volcanic rocks, and most
particularly for obsidian. In a world where heritage and
repatriation issues drive archaeological method and theory, XRF
remains an important tool for understanding the human past, and
will remain so for decades to come.
Currently, there is no comprehensive book in XRF applications in
archaeology at a time when the applications of portable XRF and
desktop XRF instrumentation are exploding particularly in
anthropology and archaeology departments worldwide.
The contributors to this volumeare the experts in the field, and
most are at the forefront of the newest applications of XRF to
archaeological problems. Itcovers all relevant aspects of the field
for thoseusing the newest XRF technologies to deal with very
current issues in archaeology. "
