Beaker and early bronze age tin exploitation in cornwall: cassiterite processing identified through microwear and pxrf analyses

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Beaker et al. from the School of Applied Sciences, University of Brighton, UK have published the research: Beaker and Early Bronze Age Tin Exploitation in Cornwall: Cassiterite Processing Identified through Microwear and pXRF Analyses, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)

  • how: Microscopic observations were conducted at low ( and amplt100×) and high magnifications (100× and 200×) utilizing . . .
