SHALE OBJECTS FROM BREAN DOWN, SOMERSET.

Author(s): M P Heyworth

A number of Late Bronze Age armlet fragments were analysed to attempt to confirm their identification as shale, rather than jet. Qualitative X-ray fluorescence analysis showed that they had a much higher iron content than a comparative fragment of jet and they could therefore be confirmed as shale.
