Hungarian National Museum Archaeometry Laboratory
The Archaeometry Laboratory of the Hungarian National Museum specializes in the analysis of museum artifacts, particularly archaeological and historical objects. The services provided by the laboratory are unique, as it has been collecting archaeological and historical archaeometric data for nearly 20 years. Its largest collection consists of archaeological ceramic data, spanning from the Neolithic to the Middle Ages.

Image-driven prompt gamma neutron activation analysis
Combining the position-sensitive prompt gamma-ray detection (i.e., image-driven prompt gamma-ray activation analysis at the NIPS) and neutron radiography/tomography (NR/NT at the NORMA), it is possible to determine localized amount of major elements and to visualize internal structures of heterogeneous objects in a non-destructive way. This service is available at the Budapest Neutron Centre.

Luminescence Dating of Ceramics and Sediments
Luminescence Dating is routinely used to determine the time elapsed since the last firing of terracotta artworks, archaeological objects, pottery, bricks, or other heated materials, and the time elapsed since the deposition of various types of inorganic sediments. It is ideal in contexts where organic material is not available for dating.

Neutron and X-ray-Imaging
Exploiting the position-wise transmission of the neutron and X-ray beam through objects visual information on the macro- and microscopic structure and/or inner processes can be obtained. The different interaction of the two types of radiation (X-ray – with electron shell, neutron – with nucleus) gives complementary information. Users are offered by radiographic (2D imaging) or tomographic (3D imaging) datasets depending on both the tasks to be fulfilled and the available technical possibilities. This service is available at the Budapest Neutron Centre.

Neutron-based elemental analysis
PGAA and NAA are nondestuctive bulk elemental analytical methods, with which the chemical compositions of various materials can be determined. The methods are based on the detection of the characteristic gamma radiation following the capture of neutrons into atomic nuclei. The types of the investigated materials include stones, ceramics, metals, glass, etc. This service is available at the Budapest Neutron Centre.
