Description

Explore the evolution and modern application of X-ray technology in the field of archaeology through this comprehensive volume from Springer. Since the discovery of radiation, scientists have sought ways to analyze the construction and chemical composition of historical artifacts without causing damage. This book provides a deep look into how non-destructive methods have become standard tools for modern researchers. Readers will find a wealth of scientific data, including in situ measurements captured with portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The text also covers high-resolution data obtained through accelerating ion beams and synchrotron radiations. By reviewing results from traditional scientific methods alongside these advanced modern techniques, this book serves as a vital resource for understanding how X-rays help reveal the secrets of ancient objects through both field and laboratory analysis.
