Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A geochemical soil survey was carried out over 500 m2 of a first- and second-century AD house complex in insula IX of the Roman town of Calleva Atrebatum (Silchester, Hampshire) where there was little prima facie evidence for non-ferrous metalworking. Preliminary analyses were made by XRF of lead, zinc and copper. These were followed by analysis for Au, Ag and Sn by ICP-MS of the samples with the highest concentrations of Pb, Zn and Cu. Certain of the Pb, Zn and Cu concentrations suggest the working of copper alloy including brass, and could be associated with archaeological evidence of hearths and burnt areas of second century AD date. Other samples have concentrations of the above metals and of gold and silver which do not appear to be associated with any physical remains of hearths and burnt areas. These concentrations date to the mid-first century AD. | |||||||||||||||
