Pigment analysis of wall paintings and ceramics from Greece and Cyprus. The optimum use of x-ray spectrometry on specific archaeological issues

This paper deals with archaeological issues which lend themselves to a simple but very effective treatment by means of x-ray spectroscopy. The common feature of all the samples presented here is that they can be reduced to a simple spectroscopic question concerning the presence or absence of certain chemical elements in the ancient pigments.
