Brązowa siekierka z Medyki w świetle wyników analizy składu chemicznego EDS

The article is devoted to the results of testing the chemical composition of the bronze axe. The analysis was carried out using the EDS (Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy) method, and it was used to determine the content of particular elements in the alloy. The significant content of nickel in the studied raw material does not have true analogies among other bronze objects analysed for a metallurgical point of view and allows the researchers to determine the examined alloy as “tin-nickel” bronze.
