Abstract
AbstractThe metal alloy of a life‐size Roman statue was determined using high‐energy Proton Induced X‐ray Emission (PIXE). In addition to the non‐destructive PIXE measurements, it was also possible to take samples from inside the statue, which were analysed using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The results of the high‐energy PIXE measurements are presented and compared to the AAS results. The reasons for differences and the difficulties obtaining accurate compositions of antique objects are discussed. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
