The Role of Metallography in the Study of Archaeological Metal Votive Statuettes from the National Archaeological Museum of Campobasso
This study presents the first metallurgical analysis of twenty-five votive statuettes of Hercules from the National Archaeological Museum of Campobasso, Molise, Italy. These artifacts, which have previously been unexamined from a metallurgical perspective, were analyzed to understand their composition, manufacturing techniques, and current state of preservation. All the samples were first analyzed in situ using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and then w…
Archaeometallurgical Analyses on Two Renaissance Swords from the “Luigi Marzoli” Museum in Brescia
Two Venetian types of swords coming from the “Luigi Marzoli” Arms Museum in Brescia were characterized in this study, to understand their manufacturing process and to gather information about their provenance. Both the blades and the hilts components are analyzed using a multi-methodological approach, to describe possible differences in the metallurgical features that involved classical metallographic and spectroscopic techniques. Microstructural…
Metallographic investigation of Early Bronze Age armbands from Western Switzerland (ca. 2200–1500 BC)
The Valaisan-type armband (a specific type of bracelet) is a typical metallurgical production from the western area of Switzerland belonging to the classic phase of the Aare-Rhone group (BzA2a, ca. 2000–1800 BC). This investigation aims to (i) characterize the metal composition, (ii) reconstruct the thermomechanical treatments applied during the manufacturing process, and (iii) gather information on the possible exploitation of the local ores cou…
Are tin oxides inclusions in early archaeological bronzes a marker of metal recycling
Laos' central role in Southeast Asian copper exchange networks
Manufacture of Eastern European decorative tin–bronze discs from twelfth century BC
Le carnyx et le casque-oiseau celtiques de Tintignac (Naves-Corrèze). Description et étude technologique
Zwei Gegenstände, die in einer kleinen Grube des gallischen Heiligtums von Tintignac deponiert waren, wurden restauriert und eingehend untersucht. Es handelt sich um eine gallischen Kriegstrompete (oder carnyx) und um einen Helm in Form des Vogels. Ihre Seltenheit (für die Carnyx) oder ihre Einmaligkeit (für den Helm), wie auch ihre komplexe Herstellung verleihen ihnen einen ungewöhnlichen Charakter. Der multidisziplinäre Forschungsansatz der Unt…
Un bras d’empereur romain en bronze à Essegney (Vosges)
Le bras gauche d’une statue de bronze d’époque romaine, découvert fortuitement en Lorraine (Essegney, Vosges), provient d’une statue d’empereur, que les parallèles les plus proches inviteraient à dater de l’époque sévérienne. On ne voit guère de quel site voisin il pourrait provenir. Le bon état du bras et l’accessibilité de l’intérieur ont permis une étude poussée des procédés de fabrication
