Abstract

Fragments of two clay objects, supposedly used in early metallurgy, were examined by the method of X-ray fluoroscence and proton-inducted X-ray emission. The inner surface of one object was enriched in copper iron, sulphur, and traces of arsenic. According to these elements, the object may be related to the copper metallurgy based on sulphide ores.
