In this paper we present a new approach using highly surface sensitive X-ray diffraction methods for archaeometrical investigation highlighted on the Neolithic Axe of Ahneby. Applying the sin2Ψ-method with a scintillation detector and a MAXIM camera setup, both were usually applied for material strain analysis on mod- ern metal fabrics. We can distinguish between different production states of bronze axes: cast, forged and tem- pered. The method can be applied as a local probe of some 100th of...
