Abstract:

The trace elements in HanJin Dynasty human hair from Xinjiang area were determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spec
troscopy(ICP-AES). The effects of various concentrations of acid solution on analysis results, the interaction of coexisted elements, standard addition recovery, and precision of the method were investigated. Zn,Ca,Cu,Mg,Fe and Mn could be determined simultaneously under the optimum conditions. The recoveries of the elements by the method were in a range of 87.0%~1064%, while RSD were in a range of 0.5%~3.3%. The method is simple, rapid, precise and convenient to operate. The results would be helpful for the researches in archaeology.

Key words: hair of ancient population, elements, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy
