Abstract
In this paper are described the measurements, carried out on a considerable number of ancient bronzes, using a portable radioisotope X-ray fluorescence (XRF) unit. This unit allows, in a non-destructive way, the quantitative determination of copper, zinc, tin and lead in bronzes and brasses, in a measuring time of about 100 seconds. The XRF results are in good agreement with those obtained by traditional methods.
