Abstract
Analytical results for 24 objects (bowls, plates, and one flagon) are given, and the analytical method and precision are discussed. The objects group into three compositional ranges (in terms of tin content), and there is a reasonable correlation between the composition and the size of the casting. The results are compatible with contemporary writings and other analyses, but give no inforrnation on production sites. -- AATA
