title: Investigations of the Chemical Composition of the Metal Finds from the Levadki Necropolis
abstract: Copper-based alloy items of the III century A.D., found in Burial no. 182 of the Late-Scythian Levadki necropolis in the submountain Crimea, have been investigated. The elemental composition of the alloys of archaeological finds was determined, and alloys of artifacts belonging to groups of different origin were analyzed. The investigations were performed by scanning electron microscopy using energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis. The emphasis of the study was on the dopants for copper.
