APPLICATION OF THE LASER SPECTRAL ANALYSIS DATA OF THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF NON-FERROUS METALS FOR THE STUDY OF THE JEWELLERY CRAFT IN POLOTSK IN THE X–XVII CENTURIES
Abstract
In this article, the author presented the results of using the methods of natural sciences (analysis data of the chemical composition of articles) for the study of the manufacture of products made of non-ferrous metals in medieval Polotsk. Based on 166 analyses of 149 products (whole amount of collected products is 1294), the peculiarities of raw material that was used by handicraftsmen for producing different categories of artifacts are discovered. The chemical analysis of non-ferrous metals enables one to trace the main directions of delivery of articles and raw material for their production in the territory of the town (North-West Russia and the Baltic region) and to distinguish the peculiarities of manufacturing articles made of non-ferrous metals in Polotsk during two chronological periods: XI–XIII centuries and and XIV–XII centuries.
