Historical narratives: Was Dutch admiral Piet Heyn’s silver basin made from ``treasure fleet'' silver
Provenance study of early modern silver from Europe and the Americas. • Insight in Dutch Republic silver and its composition/likely mining area’s. • Minimally invasive high precision lead isotope analysis. • Integrated research involving historians, curators, conservators and geochemists. • Connotation prestigious silver basin was manufactured from treasure fleet (American) silver turns out to be wrong. According to folklore, a basin was made fro…
Lead isotope analysis of lead-tin-glaze via on-site portable laser ablation sampling of 17-18th century Delftware (earthenware)
This study investigates the application of portable laser ablation sampling followed by multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry to determine lead isotope ratios (LIR) of thirteen 17–18th century Delftware earthenware objects. A method was developed to minimize invasiveness while obtaining sufficient material for accurate isotopic analysis. The method is applicable to all Pb-rich glazes. The white glaze of individual Delftware…
Byzantine plate and Frankish mines: The provenance of silver in north-west European coinage during the Long Eighth Century ( c . 660–820)
The late seventh-century introduction of silver coinage marked a transformation in the economy of north-west Europe, yet the source(s) of the silver bullion behind this change remains uncertain. Here, the authors use combined lead isotope and trace element analysis of 49 coins from England, Frisia and Francia to provide new insights into north-European silver sources during the ‘long eighth century’ ( c . AD 660–820). The results indicate an earl…
Micro‐invasive method for studying lead isotopes in paintings
A micro‐invasive technique is presented that enables pigment sampling from individual layers of a painting cross‐section by obtaining a furrow 10–50 μm wide of chosen length. Combined with increased sensitivity of lead (Pb) isotope analysis using multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC‐ICPMS) equipped with a 10 13 Ω resistor or a Pb double‐spike technique, the amount of Pb needed for isotopic analysis is drastically reduce…
On the distribution of trace element concentrations in multiple bone elements in 10 Danish medieval and post‐medieval individuals
Background The differences in trace element concentrations among 19 different bone elements procured from 10 archaeologically derived human skeletons have been investigated. The 10 individuals are dated archaeologically and some by radiocarbon dating to the medieval and post‐medieval period, an interval from ca. AD 1150 to ca. AD 1810. This study is relevant for two reasons. First, most archaeometric studies analyze only one bone sample from each…
