Abstract

This study investigates two pieces of ancient jewellery excavated from the Nerkin Naver Burial Mound and the Teishebaini Necropolis in Armenia. These sites are associated with the Middle Bronze Age and the Urartian Kingdom, respectively. XRF and X-ray μCT analyses were used to study the excavated artefacts. The application of these techniques revealed specific characteristics of the material composition and provided a deeper understanding of the metalworking methods used in the fabrication of these artefacts.

期刊介绍： Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section. Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.
