Аннотация:An overview of publications dedicated to the application of various versions of X-ray fluorescence spectrometry for investigating the chemical composition of ancient ceramics and clays is presented. Examples of stationary wavelength dispersive and energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometers, portable X-ray analyzers, spectrometers with polycapillary optics (micro X-ray fluorescence spectrometry), and total reflection geometry are considered. Although X-ray fluorescence serves as the analytical signal in all cases, the listed versions of X-ray fluorescence spectrometry differ in the range of analytes, methods of sample preparation, and methods for calculating element concentrations. The author experience in applying the described versions of X-ray fluorescence spectrometry to a comprehensive study of archaeological materials from the Stone Age for the historical reconstruction of economic activities in the Baikal Siberia population is also discussed.
