The prompt gamma activation analysis (PGA) was carried out with thermal neutrons from the T1-4-1 beam port of JRR-3 facility in Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). Some nuclides were identified by photo peaks in the measured pulse height spectra of the ancient Egyptian vitreous relics and the element content ratio was quantified from the peak area net count ratio. We have preliminarily made clear their archaeological characteristics including the age of the antiquity, manufacturing method, trade route and so on.
