Abstract
Quantitative analyses showed that two of the artifacts were originally composed of smelted copper, three of low-tin bronze, and five of bronze containing very high proportions of tin. Qualitative tests showed that seven of the objects in various states of corrosion still contained unaltered wrought iron, and that eight were composed of completely corroded iron. E.R.C. -- AATA
