PIXE ANALYSIS OF ANCIENT EARTHENWARE (MIDDLE JOMON PERIOD) EXCAVATED AT TERAMAE SITE IN FUKUSHIMA PREFECTURE
Abstract
Particle induced x-ray emission (PIXE) measurements were applied to analyze constituent elements in ancient earthenware (middle Jomon period) excavated at Teramae site in Fukushima prefecture. Quantitative analyses of the earthenware and clay obtained near the site show difference in contents of the constituent elements between them.
