Metals and Environment: Chemical Outputs From the Interaction Between Gilded Copper-Based Objects and Burial Soil

Three-dimensional chemical mapping was adopted to investigate an ancient fire-gilded buckle found in Rome. Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) were used to detect and locate degradation products aimi...
