Stable isotope analyses (C, N, O and Sr) have been for a relatively long time used in geochemistry, geochronology and geology. The Strontium isotopes ratio (87Sr/86Sr) is used in geology for example for a dating of sea sediments and intrusive igneous rocks...
Teeth cementum microstructures analysis is often used for an age determination of humans and animals. The cementum grows during the entire life of an individual. The cementum growths are studied on thin sections, which are made in the first third of a tooth root. Roots...
Terrain reconnaissance combined with knowledge of topographic, geomorphological and geological data is one of the basic steps in assessing the archaeological site or possible formation processes that fundamentally influence the origin and preservation of the archaeological record...
Geochemical analysis is an integral part of quality geoarchaeological research. However, the type of the analysis depends on the specific information we want to obtain. This means that, for example, if the aim of the research is to determine the distribution of elements related to...
The sense of the petroarchaeological analysis of ceramics is to evaluate the mineralogical composition of ceramic shards in order to determine, for example, the provenance of the material used to make ceramics, reconstruction of production technologies (forming methods, firing conditions) and variations in time and...
X-ray fluorescence spectrometry laboratory (XRF lab) has been a part of the Archaeological Centre in Olomouc since September 2018. The lab is currently equipped with an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (Delta Dynamic XRF, BAS Rudice), two (mobile and a table) drills for a sampling and a laptop with...
Two basic types of methods are possible to apply in a frame of the electron microscopy. Each of these methods use different equipment and is based on different attitude and sample pre-treatment for the analysis and following outputs....
