In the article, for which these analysis data forms the basis of what is discussed, the results of the evaluation of pXRF with regard to the limits and possibilities of reconstructing economic processes will be presented. Analysis data acquired using WDXRF showed that, for pottery from the middle Euphrates Valley, only chemical signatures partly specific to find spot could be worked out, which likely can be traced back to the geochemical conditions in the area of study. The measuring inaccuracy of pXRF, determined using comparisons with WD-XRF data, interferes with the chemical differentiability of the material.
