Evolution of Pre-Columbian Metallurgy from the North of Peru Studied with a Portable Non-invasive Equipment Using Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence

On the north coast of present-day Peru, between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean, prospered approximately between 1000 BC and 1375 AD, several relevant cultures： Chavin （1000-200 BC）, Vicus and Frias （200 BC - 300 AD）, Moche （400 BC-700 AD）, Sican （700-1375 AD）. These cultures are interconnected and...

Description
Summary:On the north coast of present-day Peru, between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean, prospered approximately between 1000 BC and 1375 AD, several relevant cultures： Chavin （1000-200 BC）, Vicus and Frias （200 BC - 300 AD）, Moche （400 BC-700 AD）, Sican （700-1375 AD）. These cultures are interconnected and characterized by a high metallurgical ability, demonstrated by the presence of beautiful artifacts on gold, silver and copper alloys. More than hundred metal artefacts from these cultures were analyzed with a portable equipment which uses the non-destructive and non-invasive technique of energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence （EDXRF）. Following objects were analyzed： （ 1 ） gold, silver and copper objects from the Chavin culture （Museo Municipal of Piura and and Museo Enrico Poli in Lima）; （2） gold and silver objects from the Vicus and Frias cultures （Museo Municipal of Piura）; （3） gold, silver and copper objects from the Moche culture （＂Museo Tumbas Reales de Sipan＂, ＂Museo de Sitio de Huaca Rajada＂ in Lambayeque and
