Abstract

The results from INAA of 3 of the standard materials /Perlman and Asaro standard pottery, Ohio Red Clay and Lefkandy Brick/ used in archaeometric investigations of pottery are presented. The values obtained for 32 determined elements are compared with the analytical data of other investigators. The accuracy of analysis and applicability of the standards are discussed.
