The bronze objects attributed to the Noua-Sabatinovka cultural assemblage come largely from hoards or are stray finds, very rarely being found in settlements. Over 70 bronze pieces discovered in settlements or by chance (except for those in hoards) are stored in the National Museum of History of Moldova. The present paper introduces this collection of objects, as well as the chemical analysis of the metal alloy, which will elucidate some aspects related to the spread of metals in the settlements of Noua-Sabatinovka in the western part of this cultural community. The distribution by categories... Mehr ...

The bronze objects attributed to the Noua-Sabatinovka cultural assemblage come largely from hoards or are stray finds, very rarely being found in settlements. Over 70 bronze pieces discovered in settlements or by chance (except for those in hoards) are stored in the National Museum of History of Moldova. The present paper introduces this collection of objects, as well as the chemical analysis of the metal alloy, which will elucidate some aspects related to the spread of metals in the settlements of Noua-Sabatinovka in the western part of this cultural community. The distribution by categories of the pieces discovered in the settlements, places the tools on the first position (30 units), followed by ornaments (25 units) and weapons (3 units). Except for uncleaned objects, the least impurities (Sn: 0.5-1.2%; Pb: 0.35-1.2%) were found on a piece of wire, pins, a Rollenadel type pin and bracelet and most impurities (Sn: 13-16%; Pb: 5.3-5.6%) were found on awls, knives and pins with ring heads.
