Abstract

Due to their non-destructive character, X-ray analytical methods are widespread in the field of archaeometry. In the present study, the use of synchrotron radiation induced X-ray fluorescence analysis (SR-XRF) is illustrated on three examples: a silver point drawing of Jan van Eyck, the Hiddensee Gold Treasure, and the Sky Disc of Nebra. The possibility to analyse large objects in normal atmosphere results in information regarding their origin, uniformity, and the manufacturing process.
