Abstract

By a combined use of small area X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (SA-XPS),X-ray induced Auger electron spectroscopy (XAES), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron probe for microanalysis (EPMA), the microchemistry of a group of slags from Tell Afis (North-Western Syria), dating back to Iron Age II (750 B.C.), have investigated. The results show and localize the presence of different iron oxides and hydroxides as well of various glassy and crystalline silicates, whose chemical structure and morphology have determined.
