    Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has various applications in the field of archaeology for analyzing ancient artifacts and materials. SEM allows archaeologists to examine the microscopic structures and chemical compositions of objects at high magnifications, providing insights into manufacturing techniques and use over time. Key areas where SEM has been used include lithic analysis, studying ceramics and other pottery, identifying residues, and examining ancient metals and other materials.
