Szabó Z. L — Szakács O. — Zimmer K.: Spectrographs investigation of Hungarian archaeological finds from the Copper and Bronze Age = Talanta 10, p. 521.(1963) A method has been developed for the spectrographs investigation of copper-based archaeological finds. Drillings from the specimens are placed in the cup of a carbon electrode and excited by an a.c. arc of anodic polarization. The spectra are established using a special slit distributor with a two-step filter. Evaluation of spectra is carried out by visual comparison with spectra established with standards. The envolved method makes possible the classification of the archaeological finds and, hence, conclusions can be drawn as regards their origin, age, etc. Zimmer K. : Régészeti leletek spektrokémiai vizsgálata (Spectrochemical investigation of archaeological finds) =14. Magyar Színképelemzési Vándorgyűlés előadásai, Békéscsaba 1971, p. 131.(In Hungarian) The paper deals with the connection between archaeology and spectral analysis; it deals with the question of what spectroscopy is able to offer to the archaeologist; it is concerned with the composition of copper, bronze and iron finds; it considers the points of view of spectrographic investigations (sample preparation, excitation method, optical condition, evaluation of spectra, etc). Zimmer K: Identification des différentes parties d'une trouvaille archéologique par analyse spectrale d'émission = Acta Archaeol. Acad. Sei. Hung. 24, p. 233.(1972) The 4 parts of a procession crucifix, found in the church min in the cemetery by Balatonfüred, were identified by emission spectral analysis. It could be stated that the chemical composition of all parts is the same, i.e. the different parts of the crucifix were produced at the same time and place, from the same material and in the same workshop. Zimmer K. — Járó M.: Spektrographische Untersuchungen von hunnischen Kesseln = Folia Archaeologica, XXüT,, Budapest, 1972, p. 122. Investigation of five Hun kettles coming from different sites was carried out by optical emission spectral analysis. On the basis of data obtained, the relationships among some pieces could be stated.

A direct spectrographic method was elaborated for semiquantitative analysis without sampling. Avar bronze objects were analysed by this method.
