“…The coincidence of analyses, experiment and contemporary documents on a 28% zinc content strongly suggests that brass was made by the cementation process and that from Roman until medieval times, if not later in some instances, 28% was the maximum zinc content. However several post medieval brasses contain up to 33% of zinc (Cameron 1974 and table I), although almost certainly made by the cementation process. Champion's 1723 patent referred to a process for increasing the absorption of zinc to 33% by using finely granulated copper produced by pouring the molten metal onto water.…”

“…It is somewhat surprising that the metallurgy of the post Roman period has attracted much less attention than the prehistoric periods and there are far fewer analyses compared with the wealth of analytical data on bronze from the Bronze Age. Amongst the most important of the post Roman studies on European copper alloys are the pioneer works of Werner (1977Werner ( , 1981Werner ( , 1982 on ecclesiastical statuettes and vessels, Brownsword and Pitt (1983a, b ) o n medieval and post medieval cast vessels and weights, Cameron (1974) on medieval and post medieval memorial brasses, and Brinklow (1975) on pins and small metalwork from England. There is no comprehensive study devoted to the Dark Ages but a few analyses have been published in other reports such as the Sutton Hoo report (vols 11 and 111, Bruce-Mitford 1980 and1983).…”

“…Medieval copper metallurgy in Western Europe has long been studied at an analytical level through the sole perspective of museum collections, thus concentrating mostly on ecclesiastical ornaments (Werner, 1982;Oddy et al, 1986;De Ruette, 1996), or specific items such as statuary (Riederer, 1980(Riederer, , 1983(Riederer, , 1985Laub, 1993;Hachenberg, 2006), aquamaniles, funeral tabs, cannons, bells or monumental castings (Cameron, 1974;Tylecote, 1976;Giot and Monnier, 1978;Forshell, 1984;Drescher, 1992;Bayley et al, 1993;Neri, 2004;Giannichedda et al, 2005;Dandridge, 2006;Bellendorf, 2007). Though very valuable, the information supplied by these analytical studies has only been concerned with a minor part of medieval copper production, while omitting all aspects of the production of day-to-day domestic items.…”
