dedication This volume is dedicated to the people of Ban Chiang village. They have graciously hosted research and researchers over the decades from the 1960s, including Joyce White’s stay in 1979–1981. They are also commended for strategically developing their special heritage asset, resulting in a charming and renowned venue for Thai citizens and international visitors to learn about the ancient past of Ban Chiang and northeast Thailand. One resident in particular should be mentioned, Angkhana Boonpong, who has been Joyce’s friend for forty years. Angkhana is recognized for tirelessly championing her village, the Ban Chiang Project, the Ban Chiang National Museum, and more for decades. Her devotion to encouraging Ban Chiang in all its dimensions to be the best it can be is a model for heritage managers at the local level, now and in the future.
Acknowledgments
A
comprehensive review of persons and entities who have contributed to the research program for Ban Chiang generally, including the metals study, is presented in the preface of TAM 2A and is not reiterated here. However, brief acknowledgments are noted for persons who, in one way or another, were particularly instrumental in the content and creation of this volume. Christine Sherman provided the first template for the artifact catalogs and compiled the crucible catalog many years ago, which greatly assisted the development of subsequent drafts. Vincent Pigott’s use of the metals collection in his University of Pennsylvania courses on archaeometallurgy in the 1980s led to a particularly large sample of artifacts with mounted and polished samples. Alissa Hinckley was the first to recognize the importance of the classes of flat, wire/rods, and amorphous, thus providing organizational structure for the majority of artifacts in the study collection. Alissa also contributed technical studies for many artifacts from the tested sites in her work for her M.A. thesis at the University of Bradford. Metallurgist Samuel Nash of the Museum Applied Science Center for Archaeology (MASCA) worked closely with archaeometallurgist Elizabeth Hamilton on the interpretation of the photomicrographs, and his expertise in the use of different etchants to bring out structural details in polished metal surfaces is deeply appreciated. Stuart Fleming, Scientific Director of the Penn Museum’s MASCA section and Charles Swann of the Bartol Research Institute at the University of Delaware, provided via PIXE most of the elemental analyses for the copper-base artifacts. William Vernon pioneered the study of crucibles in Thai archaeology and his detailed study of the crucible sherds provided the insightful observations for these artifacts in the catalogs. Most of the drawings were done by work-study students at the University of Pennsylvania, and Ardeth Anderson and Vivian Wolovitz also contributed drawings. Ardeth has worked with great dedication on preparing all drawings for publication as well as layout. Janice Cross’s assistance with editing the manuscript greatly helped move this volume along to completion. Page Selinsky’s ever patient efforts in creating a final product with clarity and beauty is greatly appreciated. As reviewed in TAM 2A’s preface, various sources of funds supported the work throughout the project, but special thanks go to the Henry Luce Foundation, Inc., for their grant in the late 1990s that specifically supported monograph preparation. Those funds allowed Elizabeth Hamilton to systematically reanalyze the study collection presented here.

1 Introduction to the Catalogs of Metals and Related Remains from Ban Chiang, Ban Phak Top, Ban Tong, and Don Klang
T
hese catalogs bring together artifact-specific information for the collection of metals and metal-related remains excavated from four sites in northeast Thailand in 1974–1975 by the Penn Museum (University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology) and Fine Arts Department of Thailand. This volume completes the four-volume suite devoted to the study and analysis of this collection in terms of its contribution to understanding the metal age of Thailand from diverse perspectives, including technology; cultural, social, and economic roles of metals; and economic organization of metal production and metal product manufacturing. The volume is best used alongside the previously published volumes of the Thai Archaeology Monograph Series (TAM) that present, among other topics, chronological framework and excavation methodology (TAM 2A, chapter 2), typology (TAM 2B, chapter 3), technical analyses (TAM 2B, chapter 4), lead isotope studies (TAM 2C, chapter 3), and full data on human remains including age, sex, pathologies, and skeletal completeness (TAM 1).
Contents and Organization The catalogs organize the object-specific entries for the metal and crucible artifacts in the study collection in a hierarchy of five nested levels: first by sites, then chronological period, context category, artifact class, and finally material (copper-base alloy, bimetallic, or iron). This organization facilitates the
reader’s sense of the corpus of archaeometallurgical evidence present at each individual site for each period present in the site’s sequence, including both grave goods and objects recovered outside of graves. The entire corpus of 639 copper-base, bimetallic, and iron artifacts and 102 crucibles from the four sites is presented in two catalogs. Because the authors believe that no metal assemblage can be assessed unless the full range and number of artifacts is included in the assessment, the catalogs list and describe even small amorphous copper-base pieces, which were likely casting drippings and thus byproducts of metal artifact manufacture (TAM 2B:56). The analyses of four crucible prills and one slag prill are described in the Prill Catalog.
The Sites: Ban Chiang, Ban Phak Top, Ban Tong, and Don Klang The artifacts from Ban Chiang are presented in the first catalog. These include artifacts from both the BC locale excavated in 1974, and the BCES (Ban Chiang Eastern Soi) locale, located some hundred meters from the BC locale, excavated in 1975. The artifacts from Ban Phak Top, Ban Tong, and Don Klang are presented in the Tested Sites catalog. These sites were identified during reconnaissance survey, and test excavations were undertaken in 1975 by William Schauffler, a University of Pennsylvania graduate student. Ban Phak Top and Ban Tong are in the Sakhon Nakon Basin a few

kilometers distant from Ban Chiang; Don Klang is in the upper Nam Phong Basin near Non Nok Tha. The excavation methods and recording systems employed by Schauffler were very similar to those used at Ban Chiang, allowing for coordinated reporting and classification of remains.
Chronology Catalog entries for the objects from each site are subdivided by relative chronology, from the earliest to the latest periods; i.e., for the catalog of artifacts from a site, finds attributable to the earliest period, the lower Early Period, are presented first. The order is then upper Early Period, Early Period–Middle Period, Middle Period, Middle Period–Late Period, Late Period, Late Period–Protohistoric. The dating of Ban Chiang is a contentious issue (see TAM 2A, chapter 2 for a discussion), but the working chronology used in these volumes is presented in TAM 2A, table 2.3. The correlations among the sequences of Ban Chiang and the tested sites of Ban Phak Top, Ban Tong, and Don Klang are presented in TAM 2A, table 2.1.
Context Types: Grave Goods versus Non-grave Good Artifacts The study recognizes four general kinds of contexts from which artifacts were excavated. The first general context type is grave good (gg). Grave goods were in most instances described as such in the field and the designation indicates artifacts whose condition and obvious association and placement with a skeleton, e.g., a bracelet on a wrist, indicates deliberate placement with the body. However, the majority of metal finds excavated from the four sites were not recognized as grave goods, and they are presumed to have been deposited during daily life activities. They were recovered from three different general contexts: burial-associated (ba), feature (fea), and general soil matrix (gsm) (see TAM 2A, chapter 2 for discussion). Burial-associated is an ambiguous context for artifacts that are not clearly grave goods but were recovered in close association with a skeleton. This category would be assigned to artifacts excavated
from contexts such as “removing grave fill.” It is possible that the artifact was placed with the burial, but also possible that it came from dirt dug out for the grave and then was redeposited in the fill, thus predating the grave (White 2008:94). Arguments could also be made that these ambiguous artifacts could be displaced from higher and hence later contexts (e.g., Higham 2011). Here the authors assume that, in the case of Ban Chiang, redeposition of burialassociated metal objects into intrusive features such as graves from preceding deposits (including of the same time period as the burial) is more likely than downward movement into graves from significantly later deposits through post-depositional mechanisms such as bioturbation. Analyses of the artifacts from burial-associated contexts at Ban Chiang (see TAM 2B, chapter 6), most of which are small and fragmentary, suggest that they resemble artifacts from other non-burial contexts such as features and the general soil matrix more than they do grave goods. (See TAM 2B:153–154 for a fuller discussion.) The second non-grave good general context is feature. Most features are deposits resulting from occupation use of the site. Several feature types can be defined ranging from deliberately intrusive features, such as postholes and pits, to features that likely represent debris deposited on ancient surfaces, such as artifact scatters. It is assumed that materials from most features were recovered from in situ contexts as they were deposited by ancient inhabitants, many by small but specific events. Some features were intentionally placed such as a posthole, others created haphazardly by, for example, tossing a broken pot over the side of the porch. Given that the feature outlines and contents are usually still intact, it is assumed that most materials recovered from features have not significantly moved since deposition of that feature in prehistory. Given their likely depositional stability over time, features provide important contexts from which the non-burial deposit has been delineated into levels (discussed in TAM 2A, chapter 2). The third non-grave good context is the general soil matrix. Materials recovered from excavating spits, i.e., excavation layers that most commonly were 10 cm in thickness, would be assigned to this context. As noted above, most materials recovered from the general soil matrix are presumably accumulations of ongoing incremental and undifferentiated deposits

of debris of daily life. Materials recovered from the general soil matrix have the highest probability among all contexts to have had repeated displacement from a variety of both natural and cultural taphonomic processes. In the catalogs, grave goods are presented separately from non-grave good artifacts. For example, Ban Chiang’s lower Early Period metal remains begin with grave goods, which are then followed by catalog entries for non-grave good remains including metals and crucibles, then upper Early Period grave goods, and non-grave goods, and so forth.
Artifact Class, Type, and Subtype The fourth layer of organization is artifact class. The classification used in this study includes both intact artifacts and fragments. Morphology is the primary criterion, though function is implied in some of the class assignments. Three groupings of artifacts are recognized and nine major classes. Some classes are further subdivided into types and subtypes (see TAM 2B, chapter 3). The three groups are 1) personal ornaments, 2) implements, and 3) other.
Personal Ornaments Bangles represent the majority of the personal ornaments. The class of bangles comprises curved lengths of metal with variable cross sections (see Fig. 1 for bangle terminology). The curvature and scale are such that the object could have fit around a human body part, whether arm, ankle, or finger. This class combines bracelets, anklets, necklaces, and finger rings. Fragmentary examples are arcs of the original circles. The bangle typology is based at the first level on shaft cross section, which is applicable to both intact and fragmentary examples (Fig. 2). Intact examples can display various closure forms, such as a simple closed ring, C-form, and spirals (see Fig. 1), thus providing the basis for bangle subtypes. The detailed typology based on cross section and closure variation is described in TAM 2B, chapter 2. Bells are a second class in the group personal ornaments. These are small, round, rattle-type bells (clapper is loose within a globe), often with a small loop for attachment and a slit in the body (see TAM
3
2B, fig. 3.9a–f ). Bells frequently show spiral or concentric grooves, possibly a product of lost wax manufacture (TAM 2B:48). Similar bells have been found as bangle attachments in unprovenienced examples.
Implements Adze/axes is one of three classes of implements recognized. Adze/axes are hafted or socketed tools with flat, broad blades with cutting edges transverse to and in alignment with the axis of the hafting elements. All excavated examples are socketed. Adze/ axe blades can be straight, winged, or symmetrically splayed (fan-shaped) (see TAM 2B, figs. 3.10a–e and 3.11). Blades is a class for flat cutting instruments, including what appear to be knives, curved sickles, and blades with tangs. Their primary working areas are cutting edges along a longitudinal side parallel to the axis of the hafting element, if present. Cutting edges can be either straight or curved. Hafting elements include tangs, but some blades lacking these elements may have been hafted to wood or bamboo along the longitudinal side opposite the working edge (see TAM 2B, figs. 3.12–3.14). Blade types recognized include lunate, curved, straight, and unclassified. Points is a class of socketed or tanged piercing or thrusting tools, including spearheads, small points, and other small and long, straight points that have a tapered end coming to a point extending from and in alignment with the hafting element. The cross section of the point can be flattened or round. The hafting element on complete examples is either a socket or a tang (see TAM 2B, figs. 3.15–3.18).
Other In the group “other,” most artifacts cannot be assigned a particular function, but several classes are recognized. Miscellaneous are artifacts, some probably fragmentary, that were clearly deliberately shaped but that are unique in the corpus or whose function is not clear and whose morphology does not fit other classes. The miscellaneous class includes a bronze knob that may have been a bangle adorno (decorative addition), a copper-base hook that was probably for fishing, two artifacts that may have been

sockets, and other items whose function could not be guessed at but which clearly once had been part of a shaped item (see TAM 2B, fig. 3.19). Wire/Rods are lengths of metal, straight or slightly curved, of consistent width or slightly tapered, commonly with either an oval/round or a square cross section. Wires range from 1–3.9 mm in thickness; rods are thicker than 4 mm. The typology presented in TAM 2B:53–55 and used in the catalogs is: A: rod with round cross section equal to or greater than 0.4 cm in diameter B: rod with rectangular, D-shaped, or flattened oval cross section
C: wire (diameter between 0.15 cm and 0.39 cm) with round/oval cross section D: fine wire (cross section diameter 50% complete, the chord length is the same as the bangle’s maximum external diameter. If a bangle fragment is < 50% complete, a chord length for the arc is given (see Figure 1 for illustration of a chord length). An interior diameter is estimated to the nearest centimeter from a diameter curve graph, when possible. Sometimes the bangle fragment is too short to estimate the interior diameter, and in that case, no interior diameter is given. If the bangle is > 50% complete, an interior diameter from a direct measurement is given. Implements such as blades, points, and adze/axes have additional measurements of blade length and width, when the artifact is complete enough to measure. Location: Many of the more complete artifacts were returned to Thailand in 1987 to be exhibited at the Ban Chiang National Museum, and these are noted. If there is no location field, the artifact at the time of writing is at the Penn Museum.
INTRODUCTION TO THE CATALOGS
Material: The metal or alloy. The material was determined by visual inspection (to separate iron versus copper-base), by elemental tests (see below), and by inspection of a mounted and polished sample under an optical microscope at a magnification of 100x–600x. If the copper-base material is noted as being “at least 5% tin,” the presence of α+δ eutectoid in the microstructure has shown that there is more than 5% tin in the alloy. Classification by eye as a “bronze” is also based on corrosion that closely follows the jagged shape of the α+δ eutectoid, as the eutectoid phase corrodes before the alpha bronze phase. The presence of reddish redeposited copper in voids that contrast with the bronze color of the surrounding matrix also allows the sample to be classified as a bronze. Martensitic needles in a copperbase artifact indicate that the material is a quenched high-tin bronze with at least 20% tin. If the only notation is “copper-base,” then we know only that the metal is copper or copper alloy. Iron and steel are included together under the label “iron.” Elemental analyses: Refers to analyses performed on samples from copper-base artifacts by Stuart Fleming of MASCA (Museum Applied Science Center for Archaeology) and Charles Swann of the PIXE (proton-induced X-ray emission spectroscopy) facility at the Bartol Research Institute of the University of Delaware, and by Alissa Hinckley at the SEM/EDX (Scanning Electron Microscope/Energy Dispersive X-ray) facility at Bradford University, England. The Bradford EDX results are only semi-quantitative, therefore elemental quantities are estimates. See TAM 2B chapter 4 for full discussion of compositional studies. In addition, 14 artifacts and four prills were analyzed by Pryce (TAM 2C, chapter 3) using EDXRF (energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence). Only the major alloying elements in the sample are listed in the catalogs (see TAM 2B, appendix A, table A.3 for trace impurities). If this field is absent, then no compositional analysis was performed. Corrosion: As discussed in the section on elemental analysis in TAM 2B, chapter 2, the level of corrosion in a sample can affect the accuracy of an elemental reading. Therefore, the corrosion level of any sample that has been analyzed spectroscopically is provided here. The level was judged by eye. The judgment of mild, moderate, or severe is relative, because almost all the artifacts had some degree of corrosion. Severe corrosion implies that over half the
9
metal surface has been corroded, but that solid metal still exists; moderate that dendrites are all outlined with thin or thick lines of corrosion, but at least half of the metal remains. Mild implies that only a modest degree of intergranular and interdendritic corrosion has taken place. In bimetallic artifacts, corrosion assessments may be given for both the copper-base portion and the iron. In that case, the corrosion of the iron may be total. As a general rule, bronzes with tin contents ranging from 5–17% corrode relatively easily. Impure coppers (coppers with less than 2% of alloying material) and the high tin β-martensite bronzes found in these samples are more resistant to corrosion. Sample: Sample location on the artifact. The orientation of the mounted sample is described, i.e., whether the examined surface was from the cross section (perpendicular to a surface), lengthwise (parallel to the surface), or at an angle to the surface of the artifact. Microstructure: Describes the structure of a polished sample from a copper-base or iron artifact as seen under the microscope at a magnification of 100x or greater, and what the structure indicates about the manufacture of the artifact. The first phrase or sentence briefly summarizes what the microstructure indicates regarding the manufacturing process, e.g., if there was post-casting treatment. The summary is followed by a more complete description of the microstructure. Heavy corrosion is noted when present. A reference selection of metallographic structures is presented in the photomicrograph figures in TAM 2B, chapter 4, and the readers of the catalogs are referred to these figures to illustrate the verbal descriptions. If this field is absent, then no metallographic analysis was performed. Photomicrographs: Refers the reader to the figure number or numbers in this volume that contain the photomicrograph. It also lists the negative numbers of optical photographs taken of the microstructures that are shown in the figures of this volume. “NS” means “New Series” and refers to the photographs taken by Elizabeth Hamilton and Samuel Nash from 1999–2001; negatives without the “NS” refer to photomicrographs taken by various analysts from 1976–1993. Comments: Lists Vickers scale microhardness data when available. Unless otherwise noted, all the microhardness loads were 200 gm. If the artifact is

artifacts in 1978. If a comment is not attributed, it is by Elizabeth Hamilton (EH). Pryce’s lead isotope sample number if present is listed here (see TAM 2C, chapter 3 for more details).

15
IIc burial with i&i pottery (TAM 2A figure 2.8b). Dark gray metal prills are rare among Ban Chiang crucibles but common among Phu Lon crucibles. Although this crucible fragment was excavated with grave goods overlying BC Burial 43, it was judged not clearly a grave good itself due to its fragmentary condition and lack of other evidence to consider BC Burial 43 a “founder’s burial.” To err on the cautious side, the piece is judged as “burial-associated” only.

Evidence of metal processing: Tiny red stains (possible glass) just inside the rim. Comments: Cat. no. 51 in White (1982:38, figure 47). Much of the information presented here comes from the original lab notes made in the 1970s. Vernon conducted a limited inspection through the case at the Ban Chiang National Museum but was unable to examine it closely. Due to the close association of scatter burials and metal processing evidence in this square and level, this crucible was considered more likely a part of the metalworking dump than a deliberate grave good with Burial 73. Bag context originally called Burial 18 in the field records before it was realized to be part of Burial 73.

DK 302/457 Archaeological context: LP, Level 2/3, DK Burial 8 (Ceramic Phase 3), SQ, layer 7, from under the skeleton. Burial drawing: TAM 2B: figures 6.19a–b. Context type: Grave good. Type: Socketed winged adze/axe. Description: Socket partially filled with corrosion. Drawing: Figure 26b; TAM 2B: figure 3.10e. Dimensions: Socket to blade edge length: 10.5 cm. Wingspan length: 14.4 cm. Average blade width: 3.5 cm. Width of waist: 2.2 cm. Outer diameter of socket: 3.2 cm. Inner diameter of socket: 2.2 cm. Blade thickness: 0.7 cm. Material: Iron. Elemental analyses: PIXE: Manganese 0.071%; Sulfur 0.011%; Phosphorus 0.016%. Corrosion: Moderate. Sample: Cross section of wing. Microstructure: Wrought, irregularly carburized. The microstructure varies from pure ferrite to a steel with a carbon content of up to 0.7% C. Most of the carbon is on one side. The ferrite-pearlite mix may also contain upper bainite. The ferrite in the carburized region and in the grain boundaries has a Widmanstätten structure, indicating that the artifact was cooled relatively quickly from a temperature high in the austenite phase, well over 800ºC. The artifact may have been cooled in cool air or quenched in oil or hot water. Photomicrographs: Figures 67c, 67d; Negs. NS 279, 285; TAM 2B: figures 4.18, 4.20. Comments: Closely resembles DK 283/445. Vickers hardness range for the ferrite (five readings): 132–160. For the bainite or tempered martensite (six readings): 301–383. Conserved 10/78. TF: Many rice impressions in the corrosion. Woody remains on outside of socket. Pigott and Marder (1984) performed a metallographic analysis of this artifact,
DK 255A/400 Archaeological context: LP, Level 3A, DK Burial 5 (Ceramic Phase 4), NQ, layer 6, on right side of skeleton near upper leg. Burial drawing: TAM 2B: figures 3.14, 6.18a–b. Context type: Grave good. Type: Curved blade. Description: Long sickle-like tool with intact tang. Drawing: Figure 26c; TAM 2B: figures 3.12g. Dimensions: Length: 30.9 cm. Chord length: 12 cm. Average blade width: 3.0 cm. Blade thickness: 0.9 cm. Material: Iron. Sample: Cross section of tang. Microstructure: Forged and air cooled from a high temperature. Pearlite and ferrite near the edges, ferrite in the middle. The pearlite contains 0.05% carbon at its densest. At 600x, the pearlite shows partial spheroidization, which suggests that the object was held at a high temperature for several hours, not necessarily deliberately (Pigott and Marder 1984). Photomicrographs: Figure 68a; Neg. NS 248. Comments: Conserved 10/78. TF: Mineralized fabric remains on one side; piece of bone is attached to convex edge. Crucible fragment found nearby. This blade, judging from its placement in the grave, was hafted together with DK 255B/400 to form a composite tool (Pigott and Marder 1984).

Grains are large with some subgrains visible. A previous analysis (Pigott and Marder 1984) detected traces of carburization along the edges of the sample, with the presence of pearlite showing that cooling had been slow. These patches of pearlite may have corroded away in the interval between the earlier analysis and the present study. Photomicrographs: Figure 68c; Neg. NS 251. Comments: Vickers hardness range (five readings of the ferrite): 111–130. Conserved 10/78. TF: Patch of mineralized fabric along edge of cleft.

4 Catalog of Analyzed Crucible and Slag Prills (Ban Chiang)
P
rills are small bits of metal that were trapped in the fabric of crucibles or in slag. Prills are analyzed because they offer information on the composition of the metal that had been melted in the crucible or smelted during the process that produced the metal from the ore. Many crucible fragments from Ban Chiang, Ban Phak Top, Ban Tong, and Don Klang contained small prills, but this catalog lists only the four crucible prills that were analyzed metallographically and elementally, plus one slag prill analyzed metallographically.
Middle Period BCES 382A/1073 Archaeological context: MP, Level 3C, D5, SWQ, layer 17, spit removal. Extracted from slag piece BCES 382/1073. Context type: General soil matrix. Material: Copper-base. Sample: Cross section. Microstructure: As-cast. Recrystallized grains full of inclusions. Either the slag was reheated or the cooling was extremely slow. Photomicrographs: Figure 77c; Neg. NS 169. Comments: Only nine pieces classified as slag were found at Ban Chiang, and they did not exhibit any striking clustering, save that five were Late Period and were found in BCES squares D4 and D5. This piece, 1.7 cm long, is unlikely to be smelting slag, as there is no evidence of smelting at Ban Chiang.
The slag probably resulted from copper melting or refining. BCES 2020A/1982 Archaeological context: MP, Level 3C, D4, SEQ–SWQ, layer 19, from matrix beneath skeleton of BCES Burial 40. Extracted from crucible BCES 2020/1982. Context type: General soil matrix. Material: High-tin bronze. Elemental analyses: PIXE: Tin 23%. EDXRF: Tin 16.8%. Sample: Cross section. Microstructure: Cast, slow cooled with some subsequent stress. Irregular grains with occasional strain lines and twins. Considerable α+δ eutectoid between the grains. Photomicrographs: Figure 77d; Neg. NS 293. Comments: See TAM 2B: color figure 5.8, for cross section of the crucible. Lead isotope analysis by Pryce, LIA #: SEALIP/TH/BC/11; see TAM 2C, chapter 3. Results suggest the copper originated from the Sepon copper production locality in Laos. The high tin content does not mean that the metal melted in the crucible was a high-tin bronze; it is possible that, during the melt, a tin-rich particle was trapped in the crucible.

2020/1982. Context type: General soil matrix. Material: Impure copper. Elemental analyses: PIXE: Copper 97%. Tin: 0.02%. EDXRF: Copper 99.2%. Sample: Cross section. Microstructure: As-cast. Small irregular grains, some columnar, outlined by bead-like precipitates. Granular structure reflects the low tin content. Photomicrographs: Figures 78a; Neg. NS 294. Comments: See TAM 2B, Color Figure 5.8, for cross section of the crucible. The difference in composition of Prill A and Prill B of crucible BCES 2020/1982 is noteworthy. It is possible that different alloys were melted at different times in this crucible, the two visible layers of lagging showed that the crucible was used more than once. Lead isotope analysis by Pryce, LIA #: SEALIP/TH/BC/12; see TAM 2C, chapter 3. Results suggest the copper originated from the Sepon copper production locality in Laos.

Context type: Feature. Material: Impure copper. Elemental analyses: PIXE: Tin 0.14%. Lead 0.6%. EDXRF: Tin 0.2%. Lead 1.3%. Sample: Cross section. Microstructure: As-cast. Long, thin, columnar grains with numerous shrinkage voids. Subgrain boundaries can be seen within the grains. The granular structure resulted from the low impurity content and slow cooling. Photomicrographs: Figure 78b; Neg. NS 269. Comments: See TAM 2B: color figures 5.6 and 5.7 for cross section of this crucible showing the prill. Very similar in metallurgical structure to Prill B from same crucible. JW: Assigned to Late Period based on associated sherds.

5 Metals from Prehistoric Contexts Not Included in the Catalogs
T
he 639 metal objects and five prills that form the subject of study in TAM 2A, 2B, and 2C included only the prehistoric metal artifacts excavated in 1974–1975 from Ban Chiang, Ban Chiang Eastern Soi, Ban Phak Top, Ban Tong, and Don Klang. Five additional metal artifacts were in the total collection—three from Ban Chiang, one from Ban Phak Top, and one from Ban Tong—but were not analyzed or included in the discussion. These include objects recovered from prehistoric levels at these sites, but which obviously could not be prehistoric, in the judgment of EH. Four of these were modern-looking nails and the fifth was a long iron band (BC 1125/1505) that was clearly machine-made. These artifacts may have been displaced by biodisturbances that did not leave traces, e.g., animal activity.
In at least one case, that of the iron band, it was concluded that the object was likely mislabeled and its correct label could not be determined. Thus only two historic metal artifacts from Ban Chiang were clearly displaced into prehistoric contexts. As a general observation, these few examples of clearly displaced artifacts in a site that has been inhabited by a modern village for at least the last 200 years indicate that such major downward displacement is rare. This point lends support to a view that the hundreds of prehistoric metals excavated outside of grave good contexts should not be summarily dismissed as invalid evidence because they “might” have been displaced downward. Table 1 presents the artifact and provenience information for the historic artifacts.

Note: BC = Ban Chiang 1974; BPT = Ban Phak Top; BT = Ban Tong; misc. = miscellaneous; Fe = iron; EP = Early Period; LP = Late Period; F. = feature number; gsm = general soil matrix; fea = feature. a Feature numbers were not assigned in first weeks of excavation. b Small find log says, “Iron in shape of an iron belt.” Bag log says, “Refuse dump(?) containing mostly snails, and animal bones.” This large, obviously modern object, whose layer denotes deep stratigraphic depth suggests either a deep undocumented intrusion or human error in recording. No large iron object was noted on the pertinent plan or feature. Removed from the prehistoric metals corpus. c Small find log says, “large iron nail.” Bag log says, “Feature first observed while removing L. 03—feature probably cut from somewhere in L. 03 or above.” Plan 11.4.75 also notes iron nail. Removed from the prehistoric metals corpus. d Small find log says, “iron detritus.” An apparently modern nail in an Early Period context associated with red-on-buff pot with no evidence for intrusion. Removed from the prehistoric metals corpus.

8 Introduction to the Concordance Tables
S
ix Concordance Tables are presented to help readers quickly find data on individual artifacts or groups of artifacts. The concordances provide guides to all the information in this volume related to each artifact, whether metal, crucible, or prill, in a handy table format. Each table includes all the artifacts from all four sites. In the first concordance, Table 2, the first table column lists all the artifacts in the study collection, both metals and crucibles, in order by Artifact ID. In the following columns are the period and context (grave good vs. non-grave good), the artifact class, the metal/alloy composition, the page in the catalog where the artifact is described, the figure number and letter in this volume (TAM 2D) where a drawing may be found if one exists, and the photomicrograph figure and letter if one exists. Therefore, if readers know an Artifact ID, for example from a discussion in TAM 2B, they can quickly access all the relevant detailed information for that specific artifact from this concordance. The artifacts from Ban Chiang are alphabetically ahead of the other three tested sites. In the concordance in Table 3, the same information is organized by period/context type. This table allows the reader to see quickly, for example, what artifacts are lower Early Period or Late Period, whether they are grave goods or not, what pages in the catalog contain their descriptions, what artifact class each object is, the artifact compositions, and where to look in the figures for the drawings and/or photomicrographs. The artifacts from all four sites
are intermingled, so that the reader can appreciate each site’s contributions to the corpus by period, for example, each site’s contribution to Middle Period grave goods. In the concordance in Table 4, the same information is organized by artifact class, with the artifacts from all four sites intermingled. The reader can see quickly where all the information related to bangles, for example, may be found, and allows, just from the table, a quick comparison of metals used in each artifact class. The burial numbers are not listed in the concordances, but a list of the metal grave goods recovered from each burial can be found in TAM 2B, table 6.6. Table 5 is a concordance for all metals analyzed by optical metallography, with photomicrographs listed in order by Artifact ID. Some of the artifacts analyzed by optical metallography were also analyzed compositionally and by microhardness testing. Photomicrograph figures are also listed in Tables 2–4, but Table 5 presents more detailed information, including the magnification of the photograph, the etchants used to prepare the sample (in the order used on each sample), the artifact class, the composition, and the negative number for that photomicrograph. The negative number shows when the photograph was taken; photos with numbers preceded by NS (for New Series) were taken in 2000–2001 by Elizabeth Hamilton and Samuel Nash. Photographs given a four-digit number without “NS” were taken some time in the years 1977–1995. The photomicrographs for each site are

grouped separately. Table 5 also includes figure references for the drawn artifacts. Table 6 presents the same information as Table 5 arranged by period and context type. Thus, if the reader wants to compare, for instance, the metallographic structures for all Early Period metals, regardless of artifact class, the figure references and descriptive information are easy to locate. The artifacts from all four sites are intermingled. Table 7 organizes the same information as Table 5 listed by artifact type with the artifacts from all four sites intermingled. This table would facilitate, for example, a reader who wishes to compare variations in the study collection of microstructures of bangles from the Middle Period. The five prills are listed in the photomicrograph concordance Tables 5–7.
Common abbreviations are: EP = Early Period EP-lower = lower Early Period EP-upper = upper Early Period EP–MP = Early Period–Middle Period MP = Middle Period MP–LP = Middle Period–Late Period LP = Late Period LP–Proto = Late Period–Protohistoric Period Copper-base = artifact made of copper but unable to determine if it has been alloyed with tin (bronze) or other metals such as lead or arsenic, usually because no compositional analysis was performed or the metallographic analysis gave no clear clues as to composition. Bronze = a copper-base alloy with at least 2% tin. In these volumes, “leaded” or “arsenical” copper or bronze has at least 2% of lead or arsenic.
Etchants: AH/HP = ammonium hydroxide (ammonia)/hydrogen peroxide FeCl3 = ferric chloride K2Cr2O7 = potassium dichromate
