Abstract. Prehistory of Sumatra well characterized by its abundant numbers of obsidian industry, one of which is in Jambi Province. However, determination on the geochemical characteristic of obsidian from Jambi is still lacking. Portable X-Ray Fluorescence analysis (pXRF) on obsidian samples from Merangin and Sarolangun proved the existence of three different obsidian sources in Jambi. It is obtained through the determination of pXRF on the particular trace elements: Rb, Sr, Zr, Y, Nb, Ti and Mn. The results are then analyzed by the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to arrange the same obsidian sources. This result is then corroborated with the Independent Sample T-Test. This analysis reveals the similarity in trace-element concentration amongst the same source, as well as their differences within different sources. This study contributes to the identification of two new obsidian sources from Sarolangun that have never been reported before. As a result, there are five known-sources of obsidian in Southern Sumatra, in which three other sources were previously identified by Ambrose et al. (2009) and Reepmeyer et al. (2011).Abstrak. Prasejarah Sumatra terkenal dengan industri obsidiannya yang melimpah, salah satunya yaitu di wilayah Jambi. Namun demikian, determinasi karakteristik geokimia obsidian dari wilayah Jambi hingga saat ini masih sangat terbatas jumlahnya. Analisis Portable X-Ray Fluorescence (pXRF) pada sampel obsidian dari Merangin dan Sarolangun membuktikan adanya tiga sumber obsidian yang berbeda di wilayah Jambi. Perbedaan tersebut diperoleh melalui determinasi pXRF pada unsur-jejak Rb, Sr, Zr, Y, Nb, Ti dan Mn. Hasil determinasi kemudian dianalisis dengan metode Principal Component Analysis (PCA)  untuk mengelompokkan sumber-sumber obsidian yang sama. Hasil analisis tersebut kemudian diperkuat oleh analisis Independent Sample T-Test yang menunjukkan kemiripan proporsi unsur-jejak pada sumber yang sama, sekaligus perbedaannya pada sumber yang berlainan. Studi memberikan kontribusi berupa identifikasi dua sumber obsidian baru dari Sarolangun (Batang Asai 1 dan 2) yang belum pernah dilaporkan sebelumnya. Dengan demikian terdapat lima sumber obsidian di Sumatra Bagian Selatan, dimana tiga sumber lainnya (i.e. Kerinci, OKU dan Tapus) telah berhasil diidentifikasi oleh Ambrose dkk. (2009) dan Reepmeyer dkk. (2011).

Abstract In this work, a method was established for discriminating geographical origins of wheat flour based on energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (ED-XRF) and chemometrics. 68 wheat flour samples from three different origins were collected and analyzed using ED-XRF technology. Firstly, the principal component analysis method was applied to analyze the feasibility of discrimination and reduce data dimensionality. Then, Competitive Adaptive Reweighted Sampling (CARS) was used to further extract feature variables, and 12 energy variables (corresponding to mineral elements) were identified and selected to characterize the geographical attributes of wheat flour samples. Finally, a non-linear model was constructed using principal component analysis and quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA). The CARS-PCA-QDA model showed that the accuracy of five-fold cross-validation was 84.25%. The results showed that the established method was able to select important energy channel variables effectively and wheat flour could be classified based on geographical origins with chemometrics, which could provide a theoretical basis for unveiling the relationship between mineral element composition and wheat origin.

Mineral trace element concentration of human saliva from healthy volunteers, were investigated by Proton-Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) analysis. The specimens were bombarded with Proton beams of 2 MeV from a Van de Graaff accelerator at NRC . The object of this measurement was to find a normal range of trace element concentration for Iranian people.
