Abstract
Elemental concentrations were determined by INAA in Brick Clay and Ohio Red Clay (new bag) by three radioanalytical laboratories in Argentina, Brazil and Chile. Results were compared to unpublished data from the Conservation Analytical Laboratory, Smithsonian Institution. To better assess the analyt ical results obtained from laboratories the precision and accuracy of the m ethod were evaluated by means of statistical methods. The results at a conf idence level of 95% can be considered identical.
