Abstract
Current technical interest in the nature of the black inlaid decoration on ancient metalware has stimulated an examination of some of the well-known bronze daggers, silver vessels, and other fragments, all with inlaid decoration and dating to the 16-14th centuries BC, from Mycenae, Prosymna, Dendra, Routsi, and Pylos. Results of non-destructive X-ray fluorescence analysis point to great versatility in working with copper (or bronze)-gold-silver alloys. The black inlaid decoration is usually copper/bronze-gold alloy with small quantities of silver. Four of the objects were also examined by X-ray radiography
