Abstract

This paper presents the procedure for chemical analysis in a rescue excavation. The site under study is the Chalcolithic settlement of Marroquies Bajos in Jaen, Spain. Phosphorus and copper (Cu) were the most suitable analyses to obtain supplementary information of this site in view of its archacological structures and of the archaeological data available. The paper also improves on the procedure for Cu analysis.
