Tin–Lead Sewn Tokens From 13th‐Century Gdańsk: Assessing Local and Non‐Local Production Through Archaeometric Analysis

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 274-285, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents the results of an interdisciplinary investigation of 98 tin–lead sewn tokens from 13th‐century Gdańsk, the largest assemblage of its kind in Central Europe. Combining archaeological context, typology, SEM‐EDS and lead isotope analysis, the research explores provenance, production and function.

An Archaeometallurgical Investigation on Some Archaeological Metal Finds From the Sasanian Site of Jahāngir, Western Iran

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S1, Page S103-S115, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Twelve metal artifacts from recent excavations at the Sasanian archaeological site of Jahāngir in western Iran have been analyzed. These items include both decorative and utilitarian artifacts. The samples were examined using micro‐X‐ray fluorescence (μ‐XRF), scanning electron microscopy with energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (SEM‐EDS), and

Archaeometallurgy and its Importance in the Research of the Preroman Dacia Military Equipment in the 1st B.C. – 1 st A.C. Centuries

The Annals of “Dunarea de Jos” University of Galati. Fascicle IX, Metallurgy and Materials Science, 2020
Although it appeared in Romania 50 years ago, archaeometallurgy is still treated as a new discipline, despite the fact that it was understood from the beginning that this science, by its methods and by the correct interpretation of the results obtained ...

The first isotopic evidence of Early Iron Age lead ore exploitation in the Silesian‐Krakow upland, Poland: a provenance study of Lusatian culture lead ornaments

Archaeometry, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 552-569, June 2025.
Abstract The Bronze and Early Iron Ages witnessed a significant increase in trade relations driven by the search for valuable metals. This paper presents new insights into the use of galena from the Silesia and Krakow Upland region in southern Poland, known as the ‘Olkusz ore deposits’, within the context of metal ores in prehistoric Europe.

Exploitation of Mining Resources in El Argar Culture: Bronze Age Metallurgy in the Hinterland of the Western Betic Cordillera (Southeastern Iberian Peninsula)

Geoarchaeology, Volume 40, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
ABSTRACT This research addresses the territorial organisation of metallurgical production during the El Argar Bronze Age (2200–1550 cal bc) in the inner areas of El Argar territory through lead‐isotope and trace element analyses of geological copper ores, archaeometallurgical remains and copper‐based artefacts.

COINS, ARTEFACTS AND ISOTOPES—ARCHAEOMETALLURGY ANDARCHAEOMETRY* [PDF]

Archaeometry, 2008
Archaeometallurgy is one of the earliest manifestations of archaeometric research, using science‐based approaches to address cultural–historical questions. This review first outlines the extent of the field, defining in some detail the main branches of archaeometallurgy, and their specific methodological approaches.

Seeing is believing: The colour of silver alloys and the global silver circulation in the Chinese Ming and Qing dynasties

Archaeometry, Volume 66, Issue 6, Page 1297-1312, December 2024.
Abstract This research investigates the correlation between colour perception and the circulation of silver in China during the Ming (1368–1644 CE) and Qing (1644–1911 CE) dynasties. The primary aim is to deepen our understanding of how silver alloys were perceived and experienced in this historical context while also situating our study within the ...

Lead isotopic compositions link copper axes from Kietrz (Poland, 3500–3350 BC) to Slovak and Balkan copper mines

Archaeometry, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 840-859, August 2024.
Abstract Chemical and lead isotope analyses aided by metallographic examination of copper axes found at the Late Neolithic settlement of Kietrz in southwestern Poland provide new evidence for the origin of copper and metal trade routes in the region. Our results indicate that metal used for the axes could be sourced from copper mines in modern Slovakia,
