Abstract

The results of studying a bronze casting mold found on the territory of the Chersonesos ancient settlement are presented. It is established that the mold was cast from lead-tin bronze, in which the tin content varies within the range of 6.23–9.43%, and lead, within the range of 6.42–24.42%. The percentage of lead is significantly increased inside the small cross, where inclusions of silver-gray color are also recorded. Apparently, at the final stage of using this part of the mold, either lead products or products from bronze, heavily alloyed with lead, were cast in it. A high content of silver is recorded inside the large cross, which may indicate the use of a silver casting mold.

Cherson 用于制造十字架的中世纪铸造模具

摘要

介绍了在 Chersonesos 古代定居点境内发现的青铜铸造模具的研究结果。据确定，该模具由铅锡青铜铸造而成，其中锡含量变化范围为 6.23-9.43%，铅含量变化范围为 6.42-24.42%。小十字内部的铅百分比显着增加，其中还记录了银灰色的内含物。显然，在使用这部分模具的最后阶段，要么是铅产品，要么是与铅重合金的青铜产品被铸造在其中。大十字内部记录了高含量的银，这可能表明使用了银铸模。
