 a)\nIn the past years\, in the framework of a successful collaboration bet
 ween RIKEN-RAL and INFN\, (CHNET-TANDEM collaboration) a series of experim
 ents were carried out to optimize Muonic Atoms X-rays Spectroscopy as a no
 n-invasive and non-destructive probe for quantitative elemental characteri
 zation of ancient metal artefacts of particular interest. We present the r
 esults on late Bronze-age artefacts found in Tuscany and a silver Portugue
 se ancient coin.  A series of measurements on 2 bronze oil lamps\, with th
 e shape of small ships\, found in Vetulonia in the Tomb of the "Tre Navice
 lle"\, part of the collection of the National Archaeological Museum of Flo
 rence (n. inv. 6779\; 6780) and on a Portuguese coin of the eighteenth cen
 tury utilized for an IAEA inter comparison round robin were analysed. The 
 goal was to determine the chemical composition of the samples with the pos
 sibility of carrying out both "superficial" and "bulk" measurements by ele
 mental profiles from the sample surface to a depth of several millimetres.
