Abstract
Elemental abundances of the ambient gas at the site of gamma-ray production in the solar atmosphere are deduced using gamma-ray line observations of a solar flare. The production site is most likely the chromosphere. The resultant abundances are different from local galactic abundances which are thought to be similar to photospheric abundances.
