Mössbauer Spectroscopy in Archaeology: Introduction and Experimental Considerations


F. E. Wagner, A. Kyek
Physik-Department E15, Technische Universität München, 85747 Garching, Germany


Abstract
An introduction to the Mössbauer method with emphasis on archaeological applications is given and the merits of scattering and transmission experiments in archaeometric work are discussed. A brief outline of the development of Mössbauer spectroscopy in archaeometry is presented and, finally, some of the rarer applications of the method to problems of archaeological nature are described.
