Fell, V. and Salter C.J 1998:
Metallographic examination of seven Iron Age ferrous axeheads from England.
Journal of the Historical Metallurgy Society 32 (1) 1-6

Two socketed and five shaft-hole ferrous axesheads were examined by metallograpgy and electron probe microanalyser. Specimens from the cutting edges revealed low carbon compositions although and possibly a third showed evidence of secondary (surface) carburization. All had been cooled naturally during their final heating cycles.

Silver plating on Roman and Celtic coins from Britain - a technical study. The British Numismatic Journal. Vol64 page22-32 (Vol for 1994).

Six Roman silver plated denarii and seven British coins (staters, quarter staters and other Celtic issues) were examined and distinct differences between the Roman and British technologies were noted. The majority of the Roman coins were produced by folding almost pure silver foil over a core of high purity copper. Whereas, the British Celtic coins appear to have been produced by either heating the blanks in contact with a silver-copper eutectic alloy until it melted or by wrapping the blank in a silver sheet and heating until the diffusion of the copper results in a eutectic type surface composition The Roman cores seem to have been more carefully prepared than the Celtic cores which seem to have been left as cast. It was thought that the one example of the iron-cored Roman coin examined would have required the use of a corrosive flux. (CJS)
