Summary

The elemental composition of medieval mortars from the derelict village Holzheim and from Fritzlar was determined using energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis with radionuclide excitation. By comparison with sands and limes from different sites in Chattia/FRG the origin of the raw materials could be ascertained.
