In this data, the heavy metal concentration and magnetic susceptibility in coastal sediment samples collected from Periyakalapet to Parangaipettai of East Coast of Tamilnadu using Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) technique and dual frequency susceptibility meter. We aimed to (i) determine the heavy metal concentration in the sediments from Periyakalapet to Parangaipettai of East Coa...

The dataset contains concentration of major and trace elements of ancient potteries from Tamilnadu and grouping different potteries from the statistical techniques of factor and cluster analysis (Figs. 2, 3 and 4). The major and trace elemental concentration data generated using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence technique (EDXRF) and factor and cluster analysis data obtained using STATISTICA...

In this work, we present a novel application of the full-field energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) imaging system based on MicroPattern Gaseous Detector (2D-THCOBRA) in cultural heritage field. The detector has an intrinsic capability with spatial resolution $$400\,{\upmu }\mathrm { m}\ \mathrm {FWHM}$$ , and is energy sensitive, presenting approximately $$1\ {keV\ FWHM}$$ at $$5.9\ {k...

Professor Roberto Cesareo (Universita’ di Sassari, Italy) and his colleagues have published an interesting book on analytical research done in various ancient Peruvian archaeological sites, by using X-ray technique including EDXRF, transmission of monochromatic X-rays, radiography micro-tomography, as well optical microscopy field emission scanning electron microscopy. One points during the is ...
