Abstract

One of the largest assemblages of metal artefacts found in Lithuania was discovered in a small river valley near Šliktinė, dating between the 9th and 12th centuries ad. This ritually deposited hoard includes both Cu-alloy costume accessories and many iron weapons. We present a pXRF exploration of 35 Cu-alloy penannular brooches from this hoard. It was first deployed non-invasively on the outer surfaces; then a selected few were mechanically cleaned to measure the cores. Differences between the outer and core compositions were explored. It provides new insights for Cu-alloy objects deposited in wetland environments, saying something more about their production and circulation.

用便携式x射线荧光光谱法探测立陶宛湿地遗址出土的维京时代铜合金环形胸针

在立陶宛发现的最大的金属工艺品组合之一是在Šliktinė附近的一个小河谷中发现的，可追溯到公元9世纪到12世纪。这个仪式上存放的宝藏包括铜合金服装配件和许多铁制武器。我们展示了来自该窖藏的35枚铜合金环形胸针的pXRF探测。它首先非侵入性地部署在外表面；然后，用机械清洗的方法对几个芯进行测量。探索了外层和核心成分之间的差异。这为研究湿地环境中沉积的铜合金物体提供了新的视角，说明了它们的产生和循环。

期刊介绍： Archaeometry is an international research journal covering the application of the physical and biological sciences to archaeology, anthropology and art history. Topics covered include dating methods, artifact studies, mathematical methods, remote sensing techniques, conservation science, environmental reconstruction, biological anthropology and archaeological theory. Papers are expected to have a clear archaeological, anthropological or art historical context, be of the highest scientific standards, and to present data of international relevance. The journal is published on behalf of the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art, Oxford University, in association with Gesellschaft für Naturwissenschaftliche Archäologie, ARCHAEOMETRIE, the Society for Archaeological Sciences (SAS), and Associazione Italian di Archeometria.
