Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The Plate of Brass is an inscribed plaque purporting to record Sir Francis Drake's landing on the California coast in AD 1579. Quantitative chemical analysis of the major and trace constituents indicated that the plate is a late 19th or early 20th century forgery. R E M Hedges (pp 21-6) describes the XRF analysis of the plate. | |||
