Abstract
Korea is famous for more than a millennium of continuous fabrication of Cu-Sn objects with near peritectic composition through a process of forging and rapid cooling at approximately 700 °C. We examined four high tin bronze hairpins excavated from two Unified Silla sites in Gyongju and found substantial variability reflecting..... More

Abstract
Korea is famous for its long history of manufacturing high tin bronze objects of near peritectic composition by the application of forging and rapid cooling at approximately 700 °C. Not much is known, however, of the origin and developmental processes of this technique. Fortunately, valuable evidence for assessing the associated..... More
