Author(s): Matthew Nicholas

Excavation at a former telephone exchange recovered 51.6kg of 16th - 17th century mould fragments used in the casting of copper alloys. A selection of 237g of material was received for analysis in order to determine the nature of the alloys being cast and what objects were being produced. Samples were analysed quantitatively (SEM-EDS).
