COMPOSITIONAL ANALYSIS OF FOUR EARLY ANGLO-SAXON COPPER-ALLOY VESSELS FROM LOVEDEN HILL, LINCOLNSHIRE
Author(s): B Gilmour, C Mortimer
Four large copper-alloy vessels dating to the sixth or seventh centuries AD were analysed using surface X-ray fluorescence. Two hanging bowls and a cauldron were bronzes (6-13% tin). A Coptic bowl was made of a heavily-leaded low-zinc brass. The results are comparable with analyses carried out by other authors.
