“…(4) Published in Stos-Gale and Gale 1994, p. 214. artefacts falling into the Group A are consistent with the origin from the lead, silver and copper ore deposits in the present day Turkey. Of these 19 are consistent with the origin from the Taurus Mountains in southern Turkey (Yener et al 1991) and five from copper deposits in the area of Elazig-Malatya in the south eastern part of that country. The famous ancient copper mines of Keban and Ergani Maden Wagner et al 1986b) Tab.…”

“…Lead isotope plots of these data have been published in numerous papers, for example : Gale 1999 (Fig. 8) Wagner et al 1985Wagner et al 1986aWagner et al 1989Pernicka et al 1984, Yener et al 1991, Hirao et al 1995 Comparison on two mirror LI diagrams of all analysed artefacts from the Cypriot Bronze Age sites with the ores and slags shows clearly that the great majority of the copper artefacts was indeed made from copper originating from Cypriot deposits (Fig. 1).…”

“…Additionally, after the 1994 paper was submitted for publication new evidence emerged for the mining of copper, lead, silver and tin ores in the Bronze Age in the Taurus Mountains in Southern Turkey (Yener et al 1991;Hirao et al 1995). Only a small group (112) of lead isotope analyses so far were published for the large area of the Taurus Mountains, but even with this small group of data, their lead isotope ratios are distinctive enough to reveal the presence of metals from this region in the Aegean from the Early Bronze Age (EBA) to the Late Bronze Age (LBA).…”

Hundreds of Bronze Age metal artefacts excavated on archaeological sites in Cyprus have been analysed for their lead isotope and elemental composition in the Isotrace Laboratory, University of Oxford, in the years . In parallel, but in particular after 1995, hundreds of samples of minerals and slags collected from the mines and smelting sites around the Troodos Mountains were also analysed. Most of the results were published in various articles over the years, but the interpretation of some of the lead isotope data needs a current revision in view of new research conducted in Spain, Sardinia and southern France. It has been known that the lead isotope data for metal artefacts from the Cypriot Bronze Age sites shows that not all of the copper is consistent with origin from the Cypriot ores. In addition, the lead and silver artefacts found there must have been imported, because there are no lead or silver ores on Cyprus. The re-evaluation of the data shows that about 11 % of the analysed metal artefacts are consistent with the origin from the deposits in the Aegean and Turkey, while about 14 % with sources in the Western Mediterranean. This paper discusses in detail the current interpretation of the research into the sources of imported metal found in the Bronze Age context on Cyprus. RESUMEN

Panamá Viejo, founded in 1519 by the Spanish explorer Pedrarias Dávila, was the first permanent European settlement on the Pacific Ocean, and became a city, by royal decree, in 1521. Shortly after its creation, the city became an important base for trade with Spain. In 1671, the English pirate Henry Morgan waged an attack on Panamá Viejo, which resulted in a fire that destroyed the entire city. A new settlement built a few miles west, called Casco Antiguo or San Felipe, is now the historic district of modern Panama City. The Pb isotopic compositions of the glazes on the surface of sixteenth to seventeenth century majolica pottery sherds from Panama Viejo and Casco Antiguo (both in Panama), and Lima (Peru) were determined via non-destructive laser ablation multi-collector ICP-MS (LA-MC-ICP-MS). The contrast in Pb isotopic compositions in the glazes on ceramics recovered in different locations demonstrate that early majolica pottery production during this period used Pb obtained from the Andes. However, the Pb used in later majolica production in Panama is of Spanish origin. After Panamá Viejo was burned to the ground, Panamanian majolica production ended.

“…The geological history of Anatolia (see Öztunali 1989;Okay 2008) is punctuated by discrete events in which the conditions for ore formation processes were established. Particular mining regions (e.g., the Bolkardag, see Yener et al 1991) where metal bearing ores are most abundant and concentrated may then have specific isotopic fingerprints that relate to their geological histories. However, given that similar ore formation processes existed across many regions of Turkey, it is expected that these regions will also have similar lead isotope fingerprints.…”
