Takács-Bíró K.: Sources of raw materials used for the manufacture of chipped stone implements in Hungary = in SIEVEKING & HART, eds.: The scientific study of flint and chert, Cambridge Univ. Press (1986), pp. 121-132. The article contains topographic, stratigraphie, and genetic data on the sources of Hungarian lithic raw materials used for the manufacture of chipped stone artefacts, and instrumental analyses on the most characteristic raw material varieties such as obsidian, felsithic quartz porphyry, and radiolarite as well as limnic opal. Analyses include EDS for obsidian, and for the rest, 1RS, XRD, thermal analysis, OES and main component analysis and NAA for radiolarite samples. The article contains the material presented at the 4th International flint symposium in Brighton, 1983. Bíró K. T. — Pozsgai L — Vladár Â.: Electron beam microanalyses of obsidian samples from geological and archaeological sites. = Acta Archaeologica Hungarica 38 (1986) pp. 257-278. The article deals with the EDS and X-ray fluorescent spectroscopic al analyses of obsidian samples performed in the Institute of Applied Physics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences conjointly with the Hungarian Geological Survey, in the period between 1981 and 1983. Some 100 samples from 12 geological and 21 archaeological sites were investigated in 6 measurement series, comprising 212 EDS measurements and 40 fluorescent analyses (EDXRF). The distinct measurement series were evaluated separately. The quantitative analyses of lo samples by Ms. I. Dér were of considerable help in the correct interpretation of the results. The fluorescent analyses utilizing a scanning electron microscope were made possible by I. Pozsgai's recent results in the IAP/HAS by I. POZSGAI. The relative differences in the chemical composition of the most important European obsidian sources are demonstrated in tables. Metals Zimmer K. — Szabó Z.

The detection limits were in ppm order. On the basis of 11 minor and trace elements the results of semiquantitative analysis make possible the classification of the speciments according to their provenance.

Hung. 15, p. 37.(1963) Details of the spectrographs and metallographic analysis (sample preparation, excitation, evaluation, etc.) of the metal findings were given as well as the connection between the typological and analytical groups. The types of objects, and the chronology of the analytical groups and the archaeological evaluation were discussed in detail.
