Early Medieval Copper-Alloy Metalworking at Rendlesham, Suffolk, England
THE 5TH- TO 8TH-CENTURY METAL-DETECTED ASSEMBLAGE FROM RENDLESHAM includes material representing the manufacture of copper-alloy and precious metal objects in the later 6th and 7th centuries. This study of the copper alloys focuses on the evidence for manufacturing technology, sets it against the evidence for alloy compositions and metal supply from the wider assemblage, and considers the scale and organisation of production at the site. Examinat…
Secrets of the Anglo-Saxon goldsmiths: Analysis of gold objects from the Staffordshire Hoard
Never Judge A Gold Object by Its Surface Analysis: A Study of Surface Phenomena in a Selection of Gold Objects From the Staffordshire Hoard
With the introduction of commercially available handheld XRF analysers, there is a growing problem that the results, simply taken at face value, are regarded as representative of the bulk gold alloys of the objects analysed in museums and used for treasure analysis. It is well known that surface analysis is problematic, and the aim of this study was to test whether non-destructive surface analysis could be useful in grouping the very large number…
Investigating the production provenance of iron artifacts with multivariate methods
The quest for suitable data, data treatments and statistical methods for identifying the provenance of iron artifacts has led to a variety of analytical strategies. Researchers working on the problem have been slow to develop or adopt the use of multivariate statistical techniques, despite their successful implementation in other archaeomaterials sourcing frameworks. This paper explores the analytical potential of a comprehensive multivariate sta…
Slag inclusions in iron objects and the quest for provenance: An experiment and a case study
From Susa to Anuradhapura: Reconstructing Aspects of Trade and Exchange in Bitumen‐coated Ceramic Vessels Between Iran and Sri Lanka From the Third to the Ninth Centuries Ad
In contrast with artefactual studies of long‐distance trade and exchange in South Asia during the Prehistoric and Early Historic periods ( Ardika et al. 1993 ; Gogte 1997 ; Krishnan and Coningham 1997 ; Tomber 2000 ; Gupta et al. 2001 ; Ford et al. 2005 ), few scientifically orientated analyses have focused on artefacts from the region's Historic period. During excavations at the ancient city of Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka, a number of buff ware cera…
