| description | This article presents a preliminary report on the first results
of the interdisciplinary project Early copper metallurgy in
Ancient Egypt- a case study of the material from Agyptisches
Museum - Georg Steindorff - der Universitat
Leipzig, in cooperation of the Czech Institute of Egyptology,
Faculty of Arts, Charles University in Prague, Institute of
Chemistry and Technology in Prague and the Egyptian Museum
in Leipzig. The project is focused on the analysis of
a selected corpus of artefacts from ancient Egyptian and
Nubian sites (fig. 1 ). The analysed material was found
in greatest part at the Egyptian sites of Abusir, Abydos
and Giza and at the Nubian site of Aniba (fig. 2). The artefacts
represent an outline of the development of ancient
Egyptian metallurgy over more than one and half millennia,
from the First Dynasty (ca 3100 - 2900 BC) until almost
the end of the New Kingdom (ca 1200 BC). The selected
corpus of artefacts has been documented by X-ray radiography
and computer tomography last year at the Institute
of Mineralogy, Crystallography and Material Science of the
Leipzig University. ln all, 86 artefacts were then sampled
and a I most 100 samples obtained.
The results of a metallography and SEMIEDS analysis
of five selected artefacts, representing five different
chronological stages of the corpus, are discussed in this
article (Table 1 ). The first one is a Dynasty 1 vessel from
Abusir South (AMUL 2162; Fig. 3). This bowl was hammered
out of copper sheet, with high contents of Ni, As
and Fe. Non-metallic admixtures of copper sulfides are
present in the inner structure, which is highly deformed by
the hammering. The second is an Old Kingdom vessel from
Giza made of arsenical copper, hammered and annealed
(AMUL 2169; Figs. 4-5). The third is a lugged and decorated
Middle Kingdom axe blade, hammered and annealed
and made of copper with admixtures of As, Fe and S
(AMUL 3952; Fig. 6). The fourth is a pair of tweezers from
a C-Group tumulus N83 at Aniba, which was made by the
cold hammering of arsenical copper, bul with rather surprising
amount (1 .0%) of tin (AMUL 4647; Figs. 7-8). The
fifth is the middle part of an early Dynasty 18 dagger cast
from a tin bronze alloy (AMUL 2153; Figs. 9- 1 0).
A poster with the analysis of the XRF results was presented
at the 41st lnternational Symposium on Archaeometry
at Kalamata (Greece) and received honorable mention
from The Society for Archaeological Sciences in the
Best Student Poster competition (Kmošek - Odler et a/.
2016). All samples will be submitted to neutron activation
analysis, and the selected corpus will be also analysed for
lead isotope ratios. |
