Description
This book explores different aspects of LA-ICP-MS (laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry).
It presents a large array of new analytical protocols for elemental or isotope analysis.
LA-ICP-MS is a powerful tool that combines a sampling device able to remove very small quantities of material without leaving visible damage at the surface of an object.
Furthermore, it functions as a sensitive analytical instrument that measures, within a few seconds, a wide range of isotopes in inorganic samples.
Determining the elemental or the isotopic composition of ancient material is essential to address questions related to ancient technology or provenance and therefore aids archaeologists in reconstructing exchange networks for goods, people and ideas.
Recent improvements of LA-ICP-MS have opened new avenues of research that are explored in this volume.
