Results show that "baijin" should refer to tin (probably include lead) which is one type of important raw metallic materials used in bronze casting. It is likely that other white metal materials used during the Western Zhou period were also known as "baijin"展开更多
考察老挝南塔省(Louang Namtha)普哈县(Pu Ha County)龙阮村冶炼遗址,采集到炉渣、陶片等遗物.分析发现,炉渣为FeO-CaO-SiO2-PbO四元系渣.炉渣中发现较大的金属铜或冰铜颗粒,颗粒中普遍有块状或弥散状金属铅分布,结合炉渣基体及颗粒中...考察老挝南塔省(Louang Namtha)普哈县(Pu Ha County)龙阮村冶炼遗址,采集到炉渣、陶片等遗物.分析发现,炉渣为FeO-CaO-SiO2-PbO四元系渣.炉渣中发现较大的金属铜或冰铜颗粒,颗粒中普遍有块状或弥散状金属铅分布,结合炉渣基体及颗粒中含有的As和Sb的特征,初步推测该遗址使用的矿石是铜铅多金属共生矿,其冶炼产品可能是铅,不能排除冶炼出的铅就地用于铜鼓铸造的可能性.展开更多
