“…The determination of isotope composition can be a very useful tool for the study of a sample, especially for provenance studies. Most of the research [44,45], however, has a destructive approach; a non-invasive approach could be performed by muon spectroscopy. It has been observed that, especially for heavier elements, there is an isotopic shift in muonic K-line energies.…”

Scientists, curators, historians and archaeologists are always looking for new techniques for the study of archaeological artefacts, especially if they are non-destructive. With most non-destructive investigations, it is challenging to measure beneath the surface. Among the vast board of techniques used for cultural heritage studies, it is difficult to find one able to give information about the bulk and the compositional variations, along with the depth. In addition, most other techniques have self-absorption issues (i.e., only surface sensitive) and limited sensitivity to low Z atoms. In recent years, more and more interest has been growing around large-scale facility-based techniques, thanks to the possibility of adding new and different insights to the study of material in a non-destructive way. Among them, muonic X-ray spectroscopy is a very powerful technique for material characterization. By using negative muons, scientists are able to perform elemental characterization and depth profile studies. In this work, we give an overview of the technique and review the latest applications in the field of cultural heritage.

“…In this study we evaluated archaeological samples containing a large interval of Pb concentrations (from low μg g -1 to percentage levels) obtained in different archaeological excavations. Details of the origin of the samples can be found elsewhere 27 . The concentration of Pb in those samples (semiquantitative analysis with one point calibration) is given in Table 2.…”
