MURR Archaeometry Laboratory Database
Although it is impossible to maintain a complete online database of all neutron activation analyses conducted at MURR, we believe that once an article is published reporting the results of a study, these data belong in the public domain. All of the NAA data available here are compatible with other MURR-generated data. They are not necessarily compatible with data from other labs or by other analytical techniques. Use of these data in published research should be appropriately cited, and acknowledge the Archaeometry Laboratory at MURR and our support from the National Science Foundation. We also request notification of any derivative publications.
Please contact Michael Glascock by email at <glascockm -at- missouri -dot- edu> to inform us what datasets you downloaded and how you intend to use them.
