Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis of Olmec Pottery

H. Neff and M. D. Glascock (2002) Unpublished report.

Abstract

Over the past seven years, instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) has been undertaken on ceramics from the Gulf Coast Olmec centers of San Lorenzo and La Venta as well as other Early Formative sites with "Olmec" affiliations in Mesoamerica. The analyses were undertaken at the MU Research Reactor Center (MURR), University of Missouri, Columbia. This report describes sample preparation and analytical procedures, and provides an interim assessment of the chemical structure within the resulting compositional data set.

Number of samples in dataset: 1089
