  • Analysis of heavily leaded shaft-hole axes
    Trampuž Orel, Neva ; Heath, David John
    Recently many fragments of shaft-hole axes were discovered in Slovenia. These fragments originate from known prehistoric settlements often in associations with other metal "scrap" and traces of metal ... working. The analyses of these new finds using inductively coupled-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AFS) are reported herein. The new analyses together with data from previously analysed shaft-hole axes from the Šempeter hoard, revealed that they are made from lead/tin/copper alloys using high amounts of lead, in some cases up to 57%. This is a significantly higher amount compared to other types of object (excluding cast ingots) from Ha B1-B2 and ranks them among a special class of object the function of which is different from that suggested by its form. Although there is no physical archaeological evidence for lead smelting in Ha B1-B2 in Slovenia and northern Italy we report the locations of extensive galena deposits, which could have been exploited in prehistory.
