Overview

This research detects heat residue in stone casting molds, suggesting insights into ancient metalworking technologies.

Key Points

  • The aim is to detect and interpret features related to metal-casting technology in stone molds.
  • Investigated stone casting molds from the Siniye Skaly settlement
  • Applied optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy
  • Used energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry for elemental analysis
  • Employed X-ray fluorescence portable spectrometry
  • Detected traces of Cu-Sn-Pb alloys in the molds
  • Found evidence of a special surface covering likely of animal origin
  • Clarified the significance of the molds in ancient metalworking context
