ABSTRACTS X‐ray fluorescence analysis of 30 pieces of Anglo Saxon jewellery, from the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, is followed by a comparison with similar results obtained from contemporary coinage.

An appendix describes repeatanalyses of some coins which, at first, had widely differing results from XRF and specific gravity methods.
