Abstract:		 This report explores the use of portable X-Ray Fluorescence (pXRF) spectroscopy as a means to characterise the degree and nature of contamination at a historical lead mine. It was possible to take 40 in situ readings within a period of less than 2.5 hours. Lead (and other elements, including zinc, barium and arsenic) were detected at levels of as much as 100 times above normal background levels. The limited nature of the survey prevents a detailed exploration of spatial variation in heavy metal contamination and how this might be related to specific mining and ore processing activities. The collection of data from exposed deposits within two excavated trenches shows that the degree of contamination varies with depth and that this variation is not predictable. This situation is likely to be related to the variety of different activities that took place and the complex site formation processes which give rise to the deposits of mining waste.
