Levantine Hacksilber and the flow of silver in early Mediterranean commerce
Archaeometry, Volume 67, Issue 6, Page 1547-1564, December 2025.Abstract This study presents a comprehensive approach to provenancing ancient silver artefacts, introducing a novel algorithm to correct for mass‐dependent isotope fractionation. Applied to a Pb isotope database of 281 Hacksilber samples from southern Levantine hoards (1700–600 BCE) and compared with approximately 7000 galena ores from Spain to Iran ...
