Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS): An Introduction for Archaeological and Cultural Materials LA-ICP-MS is an analytical technique that uses a microscopically focused laser to analyze materials and obtain their elemental composition. This technique is particularly well suited for small, rare, or fragile objects, but is commonly used for a wide range of materials, including pottery, lithics, bone, and glass. Samples can remain whole or have small fragments removed for analysis. This talk will outline the method of LA-ICP-MS, discuss best practices, and provide several case studies of successful projects.
