The types of archaeological samples most suitable for analysis by NAA at MURR include potsherds, clays, obsidian, cryptocrystalline silicates (called chert hereafter), basalt, and limestone. Other archaeological materials analyzed previously in our laboratory include tephra, steatite (soapstone), turquoise, ancient metals, marble, and archaeological bone.
