Wyniki badań składu chemicznego zabytków ze stopu miedzi, Okonek, pow. złotowski, woj. wielkopolskie

An assemblage of 12 artefacts from a Bronze Age hoard was found in the Forest District of Okonek, Złotów Dstrict, Wielkopolskie Voivodeship and was subject to non-destructive testing of chemical composition. The conducted analyses show that the content of particular elements in the examined artefacts, especially copper and tin, as well as the content of additional ingredients of alloys that have an effect on their quality (lead, antimony and arsenic), is strongly varied. Based on the observed differences in the composition of bronze alloys from which particular artefacts are made, one can conclude that not all of them were produced in the same artisan workshop.
