| Abstract: | The formation of patina on the surface of archeological bronze objects is a complex phenomenon, being influenced by various parameters induced by the environment and the alloy composition. Over several years, many attempts have been made to analyze the bulk composition of the alloys by nondestructive surface measurements. In this paper, we propose an analytical approach to evaluate the composition of bronze alloys using neural network analysis and X‐ray fluorescence spectrometry.
