Archaeology of the Age of Exploration
Mass spectrometry is an analytical technique used to measure the mass-to-charge ratio of ions, which allows for the identification and quantification of various substances, including metals and alloys. This method is essential in archaeometallurgy for analyzing ancient metal artifacts, determining their composition, and uncovering information about their production techniques and sources.
