文档介绍：Analytical Chemistry in Archaeology
An introductory manual that explains the basic concepts of chemistry behind
scientific analytical techniques and that reviews their application to archaeology. It
explains key terminology, outlines the procedures to be followed in order to produce
good data, and describes the function of the basic instrumentation required to carry
out those procedures. The manual contains chapters on the basic chemistry and
physics necessary to understand the techniques used in analytical chemistry, with
more detailed chapters on atomic absorption, inductively coupled plasma emission
spectroscopy, neutron activation analysis, X-ray fluorescence, electron microscopy,
infrared and Raman spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. Each chapter describes
the operation of the instruments, some hints on the practicalities, and a review of the
application of the technique to archaeology, including some case studies. With guides
to further reading on the topic, it is an essential tool for practitioners, researchers,
and advanced students alike.
