Analytical Results for Crucibles from Various Sites in Saxon Southampton, Hampshire
Author(s): Justine Bayley
Over 50 crucibles and crucible sherds were examined under a low-power microscope and the metal-rich depositson them analysed qualitatively by X-Ray fluorescence. The results show that a range of copper alloys, silver and gold were all being worked. Most of the crucibles were small, hand-made thumb pots but fragments of a few other forms including 'heating trays' were also noted.
