Descripción
Resumen:	This paper aims to explore the ways in which chemical analysis can enhance our understanding of classics and archaeology. My research will focus on ceramics, specifically amphorae, using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) as a technique of chemical analysis to determine the provenance of these vessels. The amphorae samples have been taken from Caere, an ancient Etruscan city located about 43 km north of Rome. By studying these amphorae, this paper will examine whether their chemical signatures align with our current knowledge of their presumed place of production and production methods, providing a deeper understanding of their origins and the technological processes behind their creation. This project will also seek to determine if X-Ray Fluorescence allows for this type of analysis when it is used on its own, as well as if this could be a helpful tool if implemented in field work.
