VOLUME 7 NUMBER 1 FALL 2019 Recent research in commodities production and exchange, and JOURNAL OF settlement studies David Hart guest editor ARIZONA ARCHAEOLOGY A GREEN SOLAR FACILITY X-RAY FLUORESCENCE ANALYSIS OF VOLCANIC ROCKS AND METALS For over 35 years the Geoarchaeological XRF Lab has processed many tens of thousands of geological specimens and volcanic rock artifacts including obsidian, and metal artifacts worldwide, specializing in the North American Southwest. Using state of the art laboratory XRF instrumentation, routine analyses of volcanic rocks include 14 selected trace elements between Ti and Th, including Ba. For rock identification, light element oxides between Na and Ca, and oxides of Ti, Fe, Mn are available. Metal artifact analysis (i.e. copper bells and ingots) includes the oxides of Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Mo, Ag, Sn, Sb, Au, Pb, Bi. All methods calibrated to international standards.
