Finally, and most importantly, I am indebted to my husband and my parents for their patience to discuss about the work and for the support in all stages of the project. IV Abstract This work deals with Early Bronze Age ingot torques, their composition, and material properties. The aim was to decide whether and how a choice of materials by composition or properties was possible during the Early Bronze Age. Early Bronze Age ingot torques were analysed and artefacts from several hoard finds and working stages were investigated metallographically. On the basis of these data the production technology was reconstructed. For the determination of mechanical and technological properties, reference alloys were produced and investigated. The production process was simulated by forging experiments. The investigations revealed that ingot torques were produced by a standardised technology, independent of their composition. The results of the material testing show that it is possible to distinguish the composition of the Early Bronze Age alloys by their mechanical and technological properties. ___________________ Die Arbeit befaßt sich mit frühbronzezeitlichen Ösenringbarren, ihrer Zusam- mensetzung und ihren Werkstoffeigenschaften. Es sollte untersucht werden, ob und wie in der Frühbronzezeit eine Materialauswahl auf der Basis von Zusam- mensetzung oder Eigenschaften möglich war. Frühbronzezeitliche Ösenringbarren wurden analysiert und Artefakte unter- schiedlicher Herkunft und Fertigungsstufen metallographisch untersucht. Auf der Grundlage dieser Ergebnisse wurde die Herstellung der Ringe rekonstruiert. Zur Bestimmung der mechanischen und technologischen Eigenschaften wurden Referenzlegierungen hergestellt und untersucht. Der Herstellungsprozeß wurde durch Schmiedeversuche simuliert. Die Untersuchungen ergaben, daß die Ösenringbarren unabhängig von ihrer Zusammensetzung nach einer einheitlichen Technologie hergestellt wurden. Die Ergebnisse der Werkstoffprüfung zeigen, daß eine Unterscheidung frühbronze- zeitlichen Legierungen anhand ihrer mechanischen und technologischen Eigen- schaften möglich ist.

  • Arsenic and Lead Contamination in Oklahoma Soils Arsenic and Lead Are Naturally Occurring Elements Present in Rocks
    Arsenic and Lead Contamination in Oklahoma Soils Arsenic and lead are naturally occurring elements present in rocks. As these rocks erode, arsenic and lead get in soils, waters and plants. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reports an average of 7.4 parts per million (ppm) as the arsenic concentration in soils for the entire United States and 7.2 ppm as the average arsenic concentration in soils for the western U.S.(1) Background arsenic concentrations in Central Oklahoma soils range from 0.6 to 21 ppm.(2) The USGS reports an average lead concentration of 13 parts per million (ppm) in soils for central Oklahoma(2) and an average lead concentration of 18 ppm for the Western United States.(3) Pollution from historic lead and zinc smelters in Oklahoma left residues of lead, arsenic and cadmium in area soils. Contamination was also spread by using smelter debris as fill material, driveways and roads. These former smelters were primarily located in eastern Oklahoma. Some arsenic contamination above naturally occurring levels is also attributed to agricultural, energy and industrial practices. For example, arsenic-containing insecticides and herbicides were widely used on vegetables, fruits and field crops from the 1900s to around 1950. Coal combustion, wood preserving and smelting operations are known to be sources of arsenic contamination.(1) Lead was once commonly used in paint and in plumbing. Lead was an additive to gasoline for many years and has also been found in ceramics, mini-blinds and other products. Homes built before 1970 commonly have lead-based paint. Renovation activities and peeling or flaking paint can release lead inside the home.

  • Are You Living in an Area with Mine Tailings? Arsenic and Health Did You Know?
    Are you living in an area with mine tailings? Arsenic and health Did you know? • Mine tailings from gold mining often contain high levels of arsenic. • Arsenic in mine tailings may be harmful to health. – Most people have only a very small chance of being affected. – Babies and young children are more likely to be affected than adults. – Children who eat small handfuls of mine tailings are especially at risk – they may even get arsenic poisoning. • Unlike historical mines, licensed gold mines today are highly regulated, including the management of tailings. • If you live near historical mine tailings, you can reduce the risk to your health by reducing the amount of soil and dust that you swallow. • Fruit and vegetables that are grown on mine tailings may absorb arsenic. – Eating fruit and vegetables with raised levels of arsenic may sometimes be harmful to health. Many towns and cities in Victoria have been built in areas with a history of gold mining. Mine tailings that contain arsenic are spread over large areas of land, including land now used for housing. This booklet contains information for people who live in these areas. It gives information on what you need to know and actions you can take to protect your family’s health. b What is arsenic? Arsenic is a substance that is found naturally in rock, often near gold deposits. It was used as a poison to kill insects that attack animals, timber, fruit and vegetables. In some situations, arsenic causes health effects in people. What are mine tailings and why do they contain high levels of arsenic? When gold is mined, rocks are brought to the surface and crushed to extract the gold.

  • Of the Periodic Table
    of the Periodic Table teacher notes Give your students a visual introduction to the families of the periodic table! This product includes eight mini- posters, one for each of the element families on the main group of the periodic table: Alkali Metals, Alkaline Earth Metals, Boron/Aluminum Group (Icosagens), Carbon Group (Crystallogens), Nitrogen Group (Pnictogens), Oxygen Group (Chalcogens), Halogens, and Noble Gases. The mini-posters give overview information about the family as well as a visual of where on the periodic table the family is located and a diagram of an atom of that family highlighting the number of valence electrons. Also included is the student packet, which is broken into the eight families and asks for specific information that students will find on the mini-posters. The students are also directed to color each family with a specific color on the blank graphic organizer at the end of their packet and they go to the fantastic interactive table at www.periodictable.com to learn even more about the elements in each family. Furthermore, there is a section for students to conduct their own research on the element of hydrogen, which does not belong to a family. When I use this activity, I print two of each mini-poster in color (pages 8 through 15 of this file), laminate them, and lay them on a big table. I have students work in partners to read about each family, one at a time, and complete that section of the student packet (pages 16 through 21 of this file). When they finish, they bring the mini-poster back to the table for another group to use.
