Abstract
► Elemental and microstructural characterisation of archaeological copper-based alloys. ► Identification of novel metallurgy with copper, low tin and leaded bronzes. ► Iron contents suggest smelting with strong reducing atmosphere. ► High slip bands density and hardness values indicate workhardened artefacts. ► Uniform and small grain size evidence skilful usage of forging and annealing cycles.
