A New Approach for Provenance Studies of Archaeological Finds: Inferences from Trace Elements in Carbonate Minerals of Alpine White Marbles by a Bench-to-Top <i>μ</i>-XRF Spectrometer

<table>Tectonic sketch map of the Western Alps. The locations of the historical quarries are reported. Modified after [<a href="/journals/ijm/2014/217916/#B30">20</a>]. Legend: 1 = Postorogenic continental and marine terrigenous deposits of Plio-Pleistocene to Quaternary age. 2 = late orogeny fore-deep turbiditic deposits of Oligo-Miocene age. 3 = Apennine chain. 4 = South-Alpine domain. 5 = Canavese zone. 6 = Austroalpine domain. 7–11 = Penninic domain: 7 = upper Piedmont unit; 8 = lower Piedmont unit; 9 = internal crystalline massifs; 10 = Briançonnais zone; 11 = lower penninic unit. 12 = Helvetic domain. 13 = tectonic lines: PF = Penninic front; SL = Simplon line; ECL = external Canavese line; ICL = internal Canavese line; IL= insubric line; RF = Rio Freddo line.</table>
