Abstract

Ancient silver-copper-tin alloyed Gaulish coins have been analyzed using 14 MeV neutron activation analysis. The method used takes into account all the differences in composition, geometry, position of irradiation and counting that may exist between the sample and the reference. The results of the analysis are accurate and permit interesting numismatic conclusions.
