At the Department of History and Cultural Heritage (University of Siena), in collaboration with Department of Biotechnology, Chemistry and Pharmacy, ceramic samples from the site of Vetricella (Scarlino, GR) and the surrounding area, were selected for preliminary screening with XRF technology. This screening is aimed at an elemental and statistical study.
