Bronzes from the Sacred Animal Necropolis at Saqqara, Egypt: a study of the metals and corrosion. Wang, Q., Huang, H., & Shearman, F.
abstract   bibtex   
More than 1800 bronze objects dating to c.600 bc were excavated from the site of the Sacred Animal Necropolis at Saqqara, Egypt between 1969 and 1971. While the important pieces had been accessioned by the Department of Ancient Egypt and Sudan and had been routinely cleaned using alkaline and/or acidic reagents in the 1970s, the residual group considered here, which includes numerous figurines and parts of sculpture, situlae and jewellery, had remained unregistered and uncleaned and so retained a burial corrosion crust. Both the metal substrates and the surface corrosion were studied to obtain information about objects that were under consideration for accession and to contribute to the wider study of this important site.
