Analysis of Copper Alloy Waste from Haughmond Abbey, Shropshire
Author(s): M P Heyworth
Samples of copper alloy waste in the form of amorphous lumps and some possible offcuts were analysed to look for any variations in composition. The majority of the samples analysed were bronzes with minor levels of lead. The material could be divided into two chronological groups, one group of twelth century date associated with the early church, and the other of mid-sixteenth century date associated with the dissolution. There did not appear to be any significant difference between the composition of the two groups of samples.
