Objective
Support & Resources
Guidance, references, standards, checklists, and training pathways for a growing pXRF community.
GopXRF.net
Portable XRF knowledge, standards, tools, and protected scholarly exchange.
The Global p-XRF Network supports archaeologists, heritage scientists, conservators, laboratories, and students working with portable X-ray fluorescence across materials, regions, methods, and research scales.
Mission
A scientific hub for pXRF applications in archaeology and heritage.
The network promotes exchange of knowledge, skills, training, resources, standards, reference materials, methods, and collaborative support. The member area adds protected space for unpublished data, draft ideas, fieldwork, experiments, and tool development.
Objective
Knowledge Exchange
Colloquia, workshops, conference sessions, World Café summaries, and project spotlights.
Objective
Sustaining Community
A member network where specialists, laboratories, datasets, and reference materials can be found and discussed.
Objective
Guidance & Innovation
Shared methods across soils, metals, glass, obsidian, pigments, ceramics, and AI/spatial workflows.
