Identification, quantification and sourcing of fossil hydrocarbons in ancient Egyptian mummies by V and Ni trace elements
The non-destructive detection of trace elements V and Ni by PIXE, and vanadyl ions by EPR has made it possible to quantify and determine the origin of the bitumen present in embalming matter used for mummification in ancient Egypt.
