COMPOSITIONAL STUDY OF GOLD COINS HOARD FROM ORDONA (SOUTH ITALY) USING ED-XRF
View through CrossRef
This work shows the study of a valuable hoard of gold coins found in 1965 in the archaeological site of Ordona, ancient Roman city of Herdonia (Apulia, Southern Italy). This precious treasure, preserved in the MArTA museum of Taranto (Southern Italy), consists of a Byzantine solid (nomisma) and 147 Arab-type gold tarì. All coins were analysed using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) in order to determine their chemical composition.
The experimental results were processed using multivariate statistical techniques, such as principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA), to highlight similarities or differences among the various samples.
