Abstract
An application of micro-PIXE technique for the analysis of pottery fragment s from an intensively studied Hungarian archaeological site, Vors-Mariaassz onysziget, is detailed in this work. The fragments originated from differen t closed archaeological units of various ages. The correctness of our hypot hesis, i.e. the correlation between the bulk and microscopic contents of th e samples and the raw material source and/or manufacturing technique (in th is way the age) for the vessels is discussed.
