Abstract: |
Three ingots were recovered at Lew Mill, on the edge of Dartmoor, Devon. Samples were taken from two of the ingots for analysis by energy dispersive spectrometry. The ingots were impure tin, containing about 7wt% lead. One of the ingots also contained 0.8wt% copper. The composition of the ingots is most consistent with finds of Roman date, according to the analytical data currently available. |
