TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF METALWORKING MATERIAL FROM PAKENHAM ROMAN FORT AND SMALL TOWN, SUFFOLK
Author(s): C Mortimer
Qualitative X-ray fluoresence analysis suggests that non-ferrous metalworking was being carried out at this site during the first century AD and possibly later. Most of this was bronzeworking but other alloy types, including silver, were also in use. Bowl-shaped crucibles were used to melt the copper alloys and there is evidence for casting in investment moulds.
