Abstract

The results of X-ray fluorescence spectrometry of objects from non-ferrous metals from medieval cemetery Uelgi are presented in article. The date of this burial site is IX—XI centuries ad. Objects of belt garniture and adornments were analyzed. Results of analysis show, that there are silver and bronze objects. The main part of silver artifacts were alloyed by copper. Composition of bronze artifacts show complexity. Uneven composition of inclusions are significant for all objects. This indicate, most likely, that producers hadn’t access to the sources, and artifacts were made from secondary raw material.
