Abstract:
Neutron Resonance Capture Analysis (NRCA) has been applied for a determination of an element composition of an archeological object. The method is non-destructive and based on registration neutron resonances in radiative capture and measurement the yield of reaction products in these resonances. The experiment was carried at the IREN Facility in Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics. During the excavation of the burial ground Volna 1 on the Taman Peninsula in 2016-2018, a representative collection of archaeological material was obtained, dated within the 6th-4th centuries BCE. The Kyathos is one of these objects, which has been investigated by NRCA.
