Two applications of Synchrotron Radiation Technique on Archaeology were introduced. First, the distribution of zinc and lead in the brass artifact of the fifth millennium BC and two kinds of brass produced by “melting” and “solid-state reduction” simulation experiments were analyzed by -X-ray fluorescence at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF). The results suggest that the archaeological brass artifact utilized alloy produced by a solid-state reduction process. This result is consistent with an indigenous origin in China. Second, as we knows, drilling is one of the most complex techniques for making stone implement during ancient times. In this report, virtual 3D reconstruction by using µCT was first applied to disclose drilling tool marks on the inner wall of one small perforation
