The origin of the tin used for production bronze in Eurasian Bronze Age is still one mysteries prehistoric archaeology. In past, numerous studies were carried out on archaeological and objects with aim determining sources tin, but all failed to find suitable fingerprints. this paper we investigate a set 27 ingots from well-known sites eastern Mediterranean Sea (Mochlos, Uluburun, Hishuley Carmel, Kfar Samir south, Haifa) that had been subject previous archaeometallurgical research. By using...
A petrological study was carried out on Mg-skarn-bearing dunite cumulates that are part of the Neo-Proterozoic Ioko-Dovyren intrusion (North Baikal region, Russia). Skarn xenoliths contain brucite pseudomorphs after periclase, forsterite and Cr-poor spinel. Fine-grained forsterite–spinel skarns occur with or as isolated schlieren. Field relationships reveal Mg-skarns formed from silica-poor dolomitic by interaction mafic magma intrusion. Rapid heating caused decomposition dolomite into...
Recycled subducted ocean crust has been traced by elevated 187Os/188Os in some studies and high nickel low manganese contents others. Here, we show that these tracers are linked for Quaternary lavas of Iceland, strengthening the recycling model. An estimate osmium isotopic composition both recycled mantle peridotite implies Icelandic derived part from an ancient crustal component with model ages between 1.1 × 10 9 1.8 years a peridotitic end-member close to present-day oceanic mantle.
This study uses MC‐ICP‐MS for the precise analysis of stable tin isotopic composition in ore minerals (cassiterite, stannite), metal and bronze. The ultimate goal is to determine provenance ancient objects. We document isotope compositions reference materials compare precision different ratios accuracy procedures mass fractionation correction. These data represent a base with which future studies can be directly compared. cassiterite stannite determined after reduction bronze, respectively....
The Bronze Age in Central Asia was dominated by the Andronovo Culture and Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex (BMAC). Both cultural entities produced bronze, however, extent of bronze production use varied considerably space time across their territories. introduction spread metallurgy region is commonly associated with Culture, but comparatively little known about copper tin sources that were exploited to make bronze. To shed light on this aspect, paper examines 91 artefacts from Middle...
Abstract Bronze Age–Early Iron Age tin ingots recovered from four Mediterranean shipwrecks off the coasts of Israel and southern France can now be provenanced to ores in south-west Britain. These exceptionally rich accessible played a fundamental role transition copper full tin-bronze metallurgy across Europe during second millennium BC. The authors’ application novel combination three independent analyses (trace element, lead isotopes) artefacts Western Central also provides foundation for...
