A piece, the possession of which involves the writing of a cheque three is out of their reach for figures, definitely ; even two figures is not a light matter to them, and they prefer to pursue their hobby in those less exalted regions where ten pounds goes a long way, and quite desirable things can be had for a sovereign or two.

  • 96 Metal Artifacts from South Coastal Guatemala
    96 METAL ARTIFACTS FROM SOUTH COASTAL GUATEMALA Elisa Mencos Regina Moraga Keywords: Maya archaeology, Guatemala, Escuintla, Pacific Coast, South Coast, metals, copper, Postclassic, Pipil Project, Carolina, Gomera The sites of Carolina and Gomera are located in the township of La Gomera, department of Escuintla. These lands are now used for sugar cane plantations and cattle breeding. During the excavations carried out by the South Coast Regional Archaeological Project (Pipil Project) in that zone, a number of copper artifacts were found, located in the central area and in apparent elite residential contexts (Figure 1). Figure 1. Map of Postclassic sites in Escuintla (provided by Frederick Bove, Pipil Project). 1 Figure 2. Representation of Xipe Totec (taken from the Diccionario de Mitología y Religión de Mesoamérica, 2002). HISTORIC BACKGROUNDS The Postclassic period begins around 900 AD, and extends to 1520 AD. It is characterized by struggles between the different cultural groups that populated Mesoamerica, by constant migrations, and the militarization of society. A large number of cities within this time frame present some type of defensive system as a consequence of the different conflicts between populations. The political, economical and religious power was concentrated on the ruler, who in turn had the support of a dominant class integrated by the nobility. In the religious aspect, human sacrifices became more frequent in relation with the gods and mostly with warfare. The trade networks were intensified and could reach farther away through terrestrial and maritime routes. 2 The Postclassic period is frequently subdivided in two parts: the Early Postclassic (900 to 1250 AD), and the Late Postclassic (1250 AD and up to the Spanish arrival).

  • Silicon Tombac Tensile Strength
    Tensile strength: 500 N/mm2 Construction material: Silicon tombac Process: Pressure die casting Silicon tombac provides new opportunities C1.EN Pressure die casting using silicon tombac – The technical and economical alternative This is a construction material with a high solidity. It is also known under the names of JAKUSIL, OLKUSIL and TOMBASIL. This alloy is very suitable for thin-walled and highly-stressed structural parts. Brass is a collective term for the group of alloys with the main components copper and zinc. A brass alloy with a copper content of over 70% is also referred to as tombac. Our silicon tombac is an alloy with a high copper content made from the components copper (CU), zinc (Zn) and silicon (Si). It is standardised under the EN 1982 Standard with the designation CuZn16Si4-C. Material number: CC761S / 2.0492.05 Abbreviated designation: CuZn16Si4-C Composition conforming to the Standard: Copper (Cu) : 78.0 – 83.0 % Silicon (Si) : 3.0 – 5.0 % Zinc (Zn) : Remainder Metallurgy: Si strongly influences the CU-ZN alloy by limiting the solubility of Zn in Cu in theα -area. In the α-brass, up to 4% Si can be dissolved in the solid solution. As the Zn content increases, the solubility of the Si in α-solid solution decreases. In the case of CuZn16Si4, the highest level of Si is alloyed with the highest possible Zu content. This is why the quick cooling rate of pressure die and permanent mould casting is significant. Theα -phase crystallised Si is supersaturated. This effect is of practical importance: The higher mechanical values for pressure die and permanent mould casting when compared to sand casting are explained by the supersaturation of the primary, non-disintegrated α-solid solution.
