Bronzkor a Nyugat-Dunántúlon - Költő László: Néhány nagy antimontartalmú bronzkori bronztárgy röntgenemissziós analízise

X-RAY EMISSION ANALYSIS OF SOME BRONZE AGE BRONZE OBJECTS OF HIGH ANTIMONY CONTENT The present cornmunication opens the first Hungarian partial results - fitting in to a series of examinations started at Bradford University - up. The analyses in question were performed by an NZ-854 X-ray emission analyser, with Iodine isotope induction technique. The major part of the sample (19 pieces) came from a find of the Szentvid Hill at Velem (Table 1-2). According to the dendograms (Figure 1-2.) only one group could be distinguished; the one containing 20-30% tin and 60-65% copper. Neither objects of different functions, nor objects of higher antimony content could be divided into separate groups on the basis of their average composition. This small sample perhaps lets us draw the conclusion that the alloying with antimony may have been performed in accidental ratio. The bronze tresaures of Izsákfa (County Vas) geographically fits in to this series, while the objects more recently found at Gór (County Vas) fit an earlier series. The two objects found at Bakonyjakó (Bakony region) attach to a further examined region and a somewhat earlier age. László KÖLTŐ Somogy Megyei Muzeumok Igazgatósága H-7400 Kaposvár F5u. 10
