Abstract
The evaluation of gamma-ray spectra achieved by Instrumental Neutron A ctivation Analysis (INAA) is improved if effects of line shift and pea k broadening am taken into account, comparing the corresponding gamma- lines in spectra from samples and standards. An algorithm which handle s both effects is proposed and iu realization in a computer program fo r routine analysis of archaeological ceramic samples is presented.
