Matrix determination of Bronze Age bracelet via nitrogen assay by instrumental photon activation analysis and radiocarbon dating of its exact age

Abstract Total nitrogen content via instrumental photon activation analysis was determined to reveal the matrix composition of the bracelet from the late Bronze Age found in the site (hill fort) Sovi Skaly in Karlovy Vary – Drahovice (Drahovice cadastre, Czech Republic) from the collections of the Museum Karlovy Vary. Its exact age was determined by radiocarbon dating.
