Abstract
A set of chalice and paten found by archaeological excavations under the Cathedral at Poznan in 1953, dating to the turn of the 11th and 12th centuries, has been investigated metallographically and treated. Investigation included emission spectrography and metallography, with scanning electron microscopy and electron microscopy observations, which revealed many structural and technical characteristics as well as details concerning mechanisms and effects of corrosion. Conservation covered dismantling of chalice and paten from warped supporting structures and reassembly on a new polyester-fiberglass fabric support.
