A method for correcting the intensity of x-ray fluorescence (limit dilution method) is proposed for the analysis of samples with a complex matrix such as ceramic materials of archaeological interest. This method corrects the interelement effects, resolving the wide deviations which occur in the quantitative results obtained by x-ray fluorescence without correction. The contents of sodium, magnesium, aluminium, silicon, potassium, calcium, titanium and iron in sixteen archaeological ceramic samples of different origins and from different locations were determined. The results obtained are comparable to the values obtained by chemical analysis. A statistical study of the data was carried out to classify the samples hierarchically by cluster analysis of their chemical composition and loss on ignition.
