    More details Close

    Amount of archaeological sample for destructive pretreatment should be minimized. For X-ray fluorescence determination of major oxides (Na2O, MgO, Al2O3, SiO2, P2O5, K2O, CaO, TiO2, MnO, and total Fe2O3), very small amount (11 mg) of sample powder was used to prepare glass bead specimen. Pulverized sample (ancient potteries and igneous rocks) was mixed with 300-times amount of lithium tetraborate as an alkali flux; the powdery mixture was fused and vitrified. Prepared glass beads were measured using wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, and calibrated on the basis of synthetic standards that were prepared by compounding such chemical reagents as oxides and carbonates. Major oxides in igneous rocks (obsidians, granitic rocks, and basaltic rocks) and ancient ceramics were determined with calibration curves of two dilution ratios―1:10 and 1:300― and semi-fundamental parameter calculation.
