X-RAY FLUORESCENCE ANALYSIS OF NON-FERROUS METALWORKING DEBRIS FROM THE ROYAL OPERA HOUSE SITE, LUNDENWIC, 1995
Author(s): M Dennis
This Saxon site produced a wide range of non-ferrous metalworking debris including crucibles, other vessels, ingots, blanks, moulds, slag, scrap, waste, wire, unidentifiable fragments and objects. The crucibles, industrial vessels, ingots, blanks and moulds were analysed by X-ray fluorescence. The results show that both silver and copper alloy were being melted and cast on the site, although no foci of activity could be identified. Analyses of the slag, scrap, waste, wire, unidentifiable fragments and objects carried out by Sophie Julien were interpreted.
