Abstract
Excavations of an Iron Age II metal workshop at Khirbet edh-Dharih, Transjordan, revealed waste material of bronze production. Several lumps of metal have been analysed using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electron microprobe. The alloy produced at this site turned out to be leaded tin bronze containing stannic oxide. In this paper the respective composition and formation of these bronzes' waste products are discussed.
