| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the case of investigation of archaeological artifacts such as glass and ceramic, their chemical composition is useful to characterize them because the chemical composition has reflected the difference in type or locality of raw materials. In this study, two X-ray fluorescence analytical techniques, (1) onsite analysis using a high-performance spectrometer in the archaeological sites and museums and (2) trace heavy element analysis by high-energy synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence analysis, were applied to archaeological glasses, faiences, synthesized pigments and metals in the ancient West Asia to investigate their raw materials, provenance, technology and these transitions in the nondestructive manner. In the ancient Egyptian glasses, faiences and synthesized pigments, chronological transition of raw materials of copper colorant and the relationship to the metal refining were revealed based on their chemical composition.
