ELEMENTAL ANALYSIS OF PIGMENTS IN THE CERAMIC HUACO “THROAT-CUTTER WARRIOR WITH TROPHY” USING X-RAY FLUORESCENCE SPECTROSCOPY

ABSTRACT The X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy technique was used, with a portable equipment, to analyze traces of elements, in a ceramic piece, commonly called “huaco”, identified as the “Throat-Cutter Warrior with Trophy”, and related to the Moche Culture (bet...
