TL;DR: The results of an inter-laboratory comparison carried out under the umbrella of EURADOS showed a good agreement within uncertainties was observed between estimated and nominal doses.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the classification results obtained on a set of bricks from the medieval Chartusian monastery Certosa di Pavia in the Po valley, northern Italy, exploiting X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and total reflection XRF (TXRF) spectrometers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the use of a new quantitative analysis method in case total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) is applied to archaeological ceramics, which is alternative to and simpler than traditional TXRF quantitative analysis or typical techniques of elemental analysis such as atomic emission and absorption spectrometry (AES and AAS) which implies the chemical digestion of the sample.

TL;DR: In this paper, seven radiocarbon laboratories: Abo/Aarhus, CIRCE, CIRCe, ETHZ, Poznan, RICH, and Milano-Bicocca performed separation of carbonaceous fractions suitable for 14C dating of four mortar samples.

TL;DR: In this article, the pigments of an XI-century fresco cycle in a small pre-alpine church of northern Italy were characterized by means of field techniques, in particular imaging spectroscopy, and laboratory spectroscopic techniques, namely total reflection X-ray fluorescence, micro-Raman, micro Fourier transform Raman and micro-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies, thus achieving a complete identification of the ancient painter's palette.
