Colouring treatments on ancient copper-alloys
Ancient artisans conferred special colourings to their metal artefacts by particular techniques, which went lost in later centuries. They were also able to give to copper based alloys the appearance of precious metals. The author presents ancient examples of coloured metals and alloys, identified by scientific methods and discusses the problem of recognizing various surface treatments on archaeological objects.
