Two annular sources, 238Pu (10 mCi) and 241Am (30 mCi) and two detectors, Si(Li) and HPGe, were used. The fundamental parameter technique was adopted for quantitative analysis of elements. The concentrations of Cr, Zr, Zn and Ce were found to be higher than those corresponding to the mean chemical composition of the lithosphere.
