Even if the lead isotope results are same, the significance of the lead isotopic signature is quite different for the provenance study of the Chinese bronzes. The published data show that the radiogenic lead signatures in the unalloyed copper and the Yin-Shang bronzes with the low lead content are contributed by the copper deposits, …
اقرأ المزيدNearly 200 new lead isotope analyses of sulphidic and oxidized ores from 26 copper mines on Cyprus show that the mines from different geological regions group in five distinctive isotopic groups, each with a substructure, related to the geological history of the ore formation. Comparison of lead isotope compositions of Bronze Age artefacts with ...
اقرأ المزيدLead isotopes have a number of uses in archaeology, both in terms of sourcing studies and human mobility. ... Lead ore isotope values used as comparisons in this study. Ellipses represent 95% confidence ellipses for recorded values from each ore source, while + and x symbols describe outliers.
اقرأ المزيدThis study provides the earliest unambiguous evidence for the extraction of lead in Northern Europe. Previous studies of early metal extraction have focused on copper ores in Ireland, with an increasing number of mines identified in western Britain,

اقرأ المزيدSome decades later, isotopes were used also in other fields, e.g. medicine and archaeology. In 1943, Georges de Hevesy was awarded a Nobel Prize for his isotopic methods to trace chemical reactions and processes in the human body. ... For example, during the Middle Ages several lead-bearing ore deposits were mined in south Sweden …
اقرأ المزيدAll contain local lead, suggesting the bronze implements were manufactured locally. Isotopically-fitting lead is found in copper and lead ore deposits from the Iglesiente-Sulcis district in south-west Sardinia and from Funtana Raminosa in central Sardinia.
اقرأ المزيدLead Isotopes in Archaeology. Lead (Pb) has four stable isotopes (204 Pb, 206 Pb, 207 Pb and 208 Pb), the latter three of which represent the end of radioactive decay chains (uranium, actinium and thorium, respectively).In archaeological studies, lead isotopes are measured for two main applications: tracing origin of metal artefacts and reconstructing …
اقرأ المزيدThis study first publishes lead isotope data of bronze vessels from Central China in Western Han Dynasty and attempts to find out the lead ores circulation of this time by taking bronzes from the Gejiagou site (Nanyang City, Henan Province) as an example. The elemental concentrations suggest the lead should be introduced on purpose and …
اقرأ المزيدEach lead isotope composition gives the parameters of a point in a three- dimensional space. Many data points form the lead isotope 'fingerprint' of an ore deposit and a succession of well isotopically characterized ore deposits form a set of roughly ellipsoidal glo- bules in isotope ratio coordinate space (figure 3).
اقرأ المزيدOre mining (lead ore, calamine) was active until the 1880s, and calcite deep mining lasted until the end of the twentieth century. The Materials The 13 fragments from the waste dump were provided by the Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe (LWL).

اقرأ المزيدAnother criticism of the use of LIA in archaeology has been the tendency to use isotope ratios as simple numbers that characterize an ore source, while these ratios evolve according ... a total of 3640 lead ore samples.14 For each ore sample the three fundamental ratios measured in laboratory studies (208Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/204Pb and …

اقرأ المزيدThe use of lead isotope (LI) data in archaeology relies on the unique property of lead to be characterized by its isotope abundance ratios in an ore deposit (Gale and Stos-Gale 2000), which is associated with the average terrestrial "ore-lead" at the time of mineralization (Loveless 1975). Since three of the four lead isotopes continuously ...
اقرأ المزيدThe first is the transformation of silver ore into a PbAg alloy (raw lead or argentiferous lead), either by the lead content of the ore itself or by the addition of lead when using lead-free or low lead ores. Lead has the property of absorbing silver from ores and metallurgical products.
اقرأ المزيدLead ore is composed of Pb-bearing minerals, symbiotic minerals, and gangue and can be classified into sulphide and oxide ores. The area in the south-central Zhongtiao Mountains where lead ore is predominantly distributed is in a copper-polymetallic mineralised zone .
