X-Ray Diffraction (XRD)

XRD Device

XRD is used to identify mineral phases and chemical compounds present in archaeological artifacts. Its primary applications include:

  • Identification of rock-forming minerals (igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary).

  • Identification of the mineral components of archaeological pottery.

  • Broad applications in materials science, engineering, pharmaceuticals, and environmental science.

Cost of Analysis: 40 JOD per sample

X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF)

XRF Device

XRF is a powerful technique for chemical analysis used to:

  • Qualitative Analysis: To identify the components of the sample.

  • Quantitative Analysis: To determine the proportions and concentrations of elements.

  • Used in: Geology, soil surveys, and field environmental analysis.

Cost of Analysis: 20 JOD per sample
