Samuel Kirkland Lothrop, 1892-1965
dean of ancient metalwork and one of Sam's many friends and admirers, wrote from Edinburgh expressing his sorrow and adding, "Useful men like him are too few to lose even one of them." Now "useful" may not be the adjective that many of us would have selected, but the Oxford English Dictionary and Webster's New International bear out Maryon as a precise and accurate man. The preferred meaning in the former is "having the qualities to bring about g…

A Lead Lip Plug from Western Mexico
A corroded white-metal lip plug from Guerrero was shown by wet-chemical and spectrographic analyses to have originally contained over 99% lead. After reviewing 16th-century eyewitness accounts, linguistic evidence, the mineral resources of Mexico, the technological problems involved in the primitive extraction of lead from its most common ore, galena (PbS), and the few early lead artifacts reported from Mexico, the authors state their opinion tha…
Two 'South American' Metal Techniques Found Recently in Western Mexico
A recent find at Uruapan, Michoacán, disclosed two metalworking techniques commonly associated with South America but not with Mexico or the intervening area: hammering or pressing a series of identical sheet-gold ornaments over a pattern or model carved in high relief and making decorative spirals of worked (as opposed to cast) gold wire. The objects and the probable methods of manufacture are considered

The Smelting of Sulfide Ores of Copper in Preconquest Peru
Doubts that the Peruvian Indians could smelt copper ores in pre-Columbian times are unjustified, although archaeological evidence for the very effective wind furnaces described by early chroniclers is scanty. Oxide and carbonate ores from shallow deposits are more simply smelted than the sulfide ores, which required roasting of the crushed ore prior to reduction at a higher temperature. New evidence for the smelting of sulfide ore comes from chem…
