Abstract: |
Excavations in London along the Thames opposite the Tower of London recovered hundreds of fifteenth to seventeenth century artefacts. A selection of these (62 lead-tin alloy, 57 copper alloy and 2 glass) have been analysed using SEM-EDS to determine their chemical composition. A limited range of artefact types were selected (e.g. buckles, spoons, and thimbles) to examine the chemical compositions in relation to the records of various Guilds that tried to regulate their production. The lead-tin spoons, for example, fall into two groups: those that are stamped with a maker's mark and largely abide by Guild rules, and those that are not stamped and are composed of 'illegal' alloys. |
