Abstract  

An unique, imexpensive thermal neutron activation analysis (NAA) facility has been developed utilising the stray neutrons produced during routine isotope production operations of the 30 MeV (H+-ion) Medical Cyclotron of ANSTO. Neutron activation analysis of archaeological ceramic samples was carried out at this facility. Concentrations of iron (Fe), sodium (Na), potassium (K), scandium (Sc), chromium (Cr), arsenic (As), as well as rare earth elements (lanthanide), cerium (Ce), lanthanum (La), samarium (Sm) and ytterbium (Yb) to a minimum detectable level of 1.1±20% ppm relative to Ohio Red Clay (ORC) standard were estimated.
