“…4). Some scholars have proposed that the ratios of Ar and Sb are usually related to the ore types, while the ratios of Ag and Ni could indicate the ore used (Čivilytė et al 2017;Liu et al , 2020). Figure 4 (b, c) presents Ar versus Sb and Ag versus Ni, respectively.…”

The typological and scientific analysis of bronze artefacts has been widely applied to the issue of local production versus important, which can be further linked to the long-distance trade exchange and movement of raw materials, technology and people. Bronze artefacts bearing stylistic features of different regional origins have been discovered at the site of Moutuo in Sichuan, south-west China. This study investigates the metal provenance of these artefacts by using the impurity patterns of the Oxford system. By combining the Pb isotopic data, it is feasible to distinguish the locally produced objects from those importations. This study contributes a detailed case study to the wider question of the movement of metal in south-west China between the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age.

The area of Vértesszőlős was a populated area during the wide period of the Bronze Age. Artifacts from different cultures, and among them, many bronze objects were found. Most are ornaments, but tools and weapons have also been unearthed. The weapons found are a fragment of a sword, a blade tip fragment, and a dagger. The primary purpose of the study is the metallographic analysis of the objects to reveal the characteristics of their alloys and the manufacturing technique. It is also important from the point of view of identifying the basic copper alloy groups based on many test results. The study of the microstructure also provides new knowledge for this, and it also allows to determine the manufacturing technique. The purpose of the tests shall be to establish a detailed metallographic examination and compositional and manufacturing information.
