This paper deals with archaeological issues which lend themselves to a simple but very effective treatment by means of x‐ray spectroscopy. The common feature of all the samples presented here is that they can be reduced to a simple spectroscopic question concerning the presence or absence of certain chemical elements in the ancient pigments.
