The utilization of trace chemical composition to correlate ceramics with clay deposits.

INAA is the most suitable technique because it does not require mineralization of samples and has high sensitivity, accuracy and precision. The samples were irradiated in IEA-R1 reactor at IPEN-CNEN-SP at thermal neutron flux of 8,92x10 12 cm -2 s -1 during one hour. The elementary concentration results were studied using multivariate statistical methods. The compositions group classification was done through cluster analysis and the similarity/dissimilarity among the samples was studied by means of discriminant analysis.openAccessarchaeological sitesceramicschemical compositionclaysmultivariate analysisneutron activation analysistrace amountsTexto completo de evento
