Abstract

Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy is a valuable method for identification of elemental compositions of solid materials, LIBS has many advantages such as the ability to obtain rapid elemental analysis, possibility to work in situ, non-destructive. For its significance results, LIBS represented as a unique instrument in archaeology, in this article LIBS applied as first analytical method on porcelain from Egypt, for identification of pigments used for decoration, for dating of the studied object..
