ANTIQUE ANCHOR STOCKS: UNKNOWN ASPECTS
Journal Title: Вісник Київського національного університету імені Тараса Шевченка. Історія - Year 2018, Vol 139, Issue 4
Abstract
An attempt to identify artifacts using only analytical research methods is described. The regions of origin and production period of the lead anchor stock are determined, by investigating both the material of the stock and various inclusions into the stock’s material. Based on results of a complex of physical investigations, the stock is found to be made of high purity lead (99.95%) from the Lavrion mine (Greece). Its production relates to the period of AD 1st century – the beginning of AD 2nd century. It is assumed that the presence of a large amount of inclusions indicates the need for significant material savings for the production of the stock during the period of the depletion of lead deposits. The nail, founded inside the stock body, believed to be put into the casting mold, as a guard.
