Journal Title: Advance Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Discoveries - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 8

Abstract

An overview of the applicability of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) as a tool for non-destructive investigations of objects of art and archaeology is discussed. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is a standard technique widely used and accepted by art historians, archaeologists, curators and conservators. Synchrotron radiation was applied for the analysis of photo graphic prints, liquid samples, glass artifacts and coins. Sixty one studies have been described in this paper with the basics and uses of XRF. Recent requirement is also mentioned about the XRF techniques in archaeological sciences.
