The Bartol PIXE microprobe facility: Recent applications in archaeology

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.
