Influence of Copper Items Treatment Methods on XRF Results (Based on the Belt Stripping Clips from Kichigino I Burial Ground, Kurgan 5, Southern Trans-Urals)

The work deals with the issue of various restoration methods (mechanical brushing and Trilon B treatment) influence on X-Ray fluorescence analysis data. The different restoration methods effect poorly on the XRF analysis results of bronze items composition. However, the mechanical brushing and Trilon B treatment can influence on Pb and Bi contents towards an increase (mechanical brushing) or decrease (Trilon B) in them.
