Abstract

Neutron activation analysis (NAA) is one of the most potent scientific methods that has been applied to ancient artifacts in recent years. By means of NAA it is possible to obtain a chemical 'fingerprint' of the elemental composition of archaeological artifacts and through this to establish their place of origin. The origin is of paramount importance in reconstructing history from the remains recovered by archaeologists. In this article NAA and its application to archaeology are described. Some recent contributions to archaeology are presented, including new results.
