Dear All,
The arch-metals bibliography has been updated, and can be viewed at
http://www.mailbase.ac.uk/lists/arch-metals/files/met-bib.htm.
As I have now accumulated quite a large backlog of papers, I hope
that this is the first of series of monthly updates. There is an
abstract with the first paper by the kind permission of Archaeometry.
In the August 2000 update the following have been added.
Anheuser K., 2000
Amalgam tinning of Chinese bronze antiquities.
Archaeometry 42 189-200
abstract
This paper investigates the question whether or not amalgam tinning was used for the plating of bronze objects in pre-Han and Han dynasty
China. The relevant literary sources are reviewed and amalgam tinning is characterized experimentally with regard to its micro-structure and
residual mercury content using metallography and electron microprobe analysis. Examination of a tinning sample from a Warring States dagger
previously assumed to be amalgam tinned demonstrates that this was probably not the case, but that a trace of mercury found in the plating is
likely to be the result of contamination.
