AB  - The first experiments were carried out to study the elemental composition of 
      archaeological ceramics using prompt gamma activation analysis (PGAA) at the 
      pulsed reactor IBR-2, Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics (FLNP) - Joint 
      Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR). A radiation-resistant n-type High Purity 
      Germanium (HPGe) detector was used to measure the radioactivity. The 
      concentrations of 14 elements were determined namely; Al, C, Ca, Fe, Gd, H, K, 
      Mn, Na, P, S, Si, Sm, and Ti. The obtained results were compared with those 
      analyzed by other analytical techniques INAA (Instrumental Neutron Activation 
      Analysis) and portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) for the same archaeological 
      batches. The results revealed a good agreement within a range of 1-30%. These 
      insights will contribute to the discussion of improving the PGAA installation and 
      automation of the data obtained, which in turn will improve the quality of 
      analysis and increase the number of determined elements. In this work results are 
      presented, and the analytical merits are compared.
