STAFFORDSHIRE HOARD

30th November 2019

Those of you with an interest in the technical aspects of the Staffordshire Hoard will enjoy reading Dr Eleanor Blakelock’s article on ‘Secrets of the Anglo- Saxon Goldsmith – the results from the analysis of the gold in the Staffordshire Hoard’

See http://www.iom3.org/sites/default/files/news-documents/Staffordshire%20Hoard.pdf

Here she reports the results of chemical analysis of the gold, silver and copper content of items in the hoard and what can be deduced from this, as well as looking at other aspects such as the solder used and the deliberate surface treatment used by the goldsmiths to get different effects.
