Abstract
The article provides an overview of modern methods for studying the chemical composition of products made of non-ferrous metals of the X–XVIII centuries. It has been established that the main methods for studying the elemental composition of archaeological non-ferrous metals are laser emission spectral analysis, optical emission spectral analysis and X-ray fluorescence spectral analysis. It is noted that the most suitable for studying products made of non-ferrous metals are the X–XVIII centuries should be considered standard-free X-ray fluorescence spectral analysis, which allows obtaining quantitative and qualitative data in real time, does not require preliminary sample preparation and does not leave traces on the surface of artifacts. As a result of the author’s analysis of the statistical error in determining the main components of copper-based alloys using the Student’s t-test, it was established that the data obtained during research in different laboratories using different methods are comparable and can be used to study the characteristics of non-ferrous metalworking in the Northern and Central Belarus in the X–XVIII centuries.
