Ingo,
Many thanks for the reference website below. A colleague has translated for me as:
'X-ray view of (edge of) Phoenician period Treibteller. Found at Cueva de la Mora, Rio Tinto region south-west Spain. Polished section under x-ray. The interior is rich in lead , the exterior has more copper compounds. The make-up is characterised by numerous inclusions of what would seem to be shell.'
However, he was unable to determine a translation for 'Treibteller'. Can you assist with a translation, and what was the reference from?
Kindest regards,
Trevor

Is there any association known between finely broken shells and pottery in a conglomerate and the smelting process?
Yes, it is. See http://www.uni-mainz.de/FB/Geo/Geologie/archaeo/RT044.html
