Abstract: Nuclear analytical technique is an efficient method in study of rarity cultural relic for its advantage of nondestructive analysis. Longquan celadon is one kind of the most important ancient porcelain in China. In order to determine the inner provenance property and age's characteristic of ancient Longquan porcelain, ten components in porcelain body and glaze were measured by the Wave Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (WDXRF). Multivariates Statistical Analysis was used to analyze the experiment data. The results showed that the chemical compositions in porcelain body of three typical kilns were similar. The difference of components in porcelain glaze can be used to identify the provenance and age.
