PIXE analysis of Late La Tène scabbards with non-ferrous openwork plates (and associated swords) from Slovenia

Abstract

The method of proton-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) was applied for the analysis of late 1st century BC swords and associated scabbards with openwork copper-alloy plates from the Ljubljanica River, Strmec above Bela Cerkev, Verdun grave 37 and Verdun grave 131. The results indicate that iron and pure brass were used in the manufacture of these objects.

Keywords: Late La Tène scabbards and swords, PIXE, brass
