The sourcing of lithic artefacts, and in particular chert, is a key proxy for archaeologist to better understand hunter-gatherer populations. The heterogeneous structure of chert samples, low trace element content, and variability of outcrops make the geochemical characterisation a methodological challenge. Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) can overcome the issues of variability by enabling fast and low-cost and nearly non-destructive analysis of samples. This paper presents a protocol for chert sourcing using LIBS, by comparing several supervised classification models and signal pre-processing with two different approaches: a selection of features or the use of broadband spectra, with an example application on marine flysch cherts from the central Pyrenes (France) presenting similar micropaleontological and textural features.< Réduire
