The earrings of Pancas treasure: Analytical study by X-ray based techniques – A first approach. In: Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B, 2013, Vol. 306, p. 236-2400168-583Xhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.9/1683The development of new metallurgical technologies in the Iberian Peninsula during the Iron Age is well represented by the 10 gold earrings from the treasure of Pancas. This work presents a first approach to the analytical study of these earrings and contributes to the construction of a typological evolution of the Iberian earrings. The manufacture techniques and the alloys composition were studied with three complementary X-ray spectroscopy techniques: portable EDXRF, μ-PIXE and SEM–EDS. The results were compared with earrings from the same and previous periods.engGoldEarringsIberianPIXEXRFSEM–EDSjournal article
