Description
Summary:The research focuses on jewellery finds uncovered in the region of today's Czech Republic dated to the Great Migration Period. The metals and garnet inlays detected were examined with μ‐EDXRF, whereas, for glass samples, LA‐ICP‐MS was used. The paper presented is supplemented with data concerning the technological processing of the jewellery (documented with optical microscopy) and information dealing with analogies to the artifacts studied. Based on the chemical composition combined with the results of Raman spectroscopy, the study has identified several types of garnets with varying geological origins. The occurrence frequency of the types represented differs from previously published data.
