“Non-invasive” portable laser ablation sampling for lead isotope analysis of archaeological silver: a comparison with bulk and in situ laser ablation techniques

J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 2022, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/D1JA00342A, PaperS. W. Merkel, P. D'Imporzano, K. van Zuilen, J. Kershaw, G. R. Davies Portable laser ablation is tested for Pb isotope analysis of silver, yielding results comparable to bulk analyses. This low impact method removes the need for invasive sampling, opening the way for analysis of archaeological silver worldwide.
