Table 2 Description of the five groups formed by FAMD and hierarchical clustering, n = number of individuals per group
Alloy groups | Description |
|---|---|
Group 1 (n = 53) | x̅ Zn = 0.96wt% / x̅ Sn = 5.8wt% x̅ Pb = 15.5wt% / x̅ sum of impurities = 3.1wt% Almost only kitchen (cauldrons), some ewers Only serial and mass-produced / almost only after 1300 |
Group 2 (n = 89) | x̅ Zn = 11.4wt% / x̅ Sn = 2.3wt% x̅ Pb = 13wt% / x̅ sum of impurities = 2.3wt% Almost only table (candlesticks) Only serial and mass-produced / after 1300 |
Group 3 (n = 30) | x̅ Zn = 12.8wt% / x̅ Sn = 2.3wt% x̅ Pb = 12.6wt% / x̅ sum of impurities = 2.3wt% Hygiene or table (stoves) Possibly commissioned and serial and mass-produced / after 1300 |
Groupe 4 (n = 43) | Zn = 14.4wt% / x̅ Sn = 1.3wt% x̅ Pb = 6.7wt% / x̅ sum of impurities = 1.4% Commissioned objects related to the cult / after 1300 |
Groupe 5 (n = 14) | ̅Zn = 9.2wt% / x̅ Sn = 3.4wt% x̅ Pb = 2.4wt% / x̅ sum of impurities = 0.9% Mainly commissioned objects related to the cult and table / before 1300 |
