Abstrakt

Jewelry, with a historical lineage as ancient as humanity itself, is an object that can be crafted in different forms using a variety of materials and techniques and worn on various parts of the body. Frequently utilized forms include bracelets, necklaces, rings, fibulas, diadems, earrings, and chain breast ornaments. Among these, earrings and rings are the most common. This article focuses on two earrings and a ring made of gold alloy, acquired by the Burdur Museum. These are categorized as jewelry for the head and hands. The first earring is shell-shaped, while the second is crescent-shaped. The ring has a simple hoop design. Wire, solid sheet, and hammering techniques were employed in the production of these artifacts, which were widely produced during the Bronze Age. Three analytical techniques were applied in the archaeometric examination: P-EDXRF, X-ray radiography, and µ-PIXE. The investigations revealed the use of pure gold and gold ore, color variations due to copper and silver alloys, and the chemical composition of the alloys. This information contributes to understanding the relationship between Bronze Age jewelry technology, production methods, forms, and, in this context, the quantity and function of alloys.
