Descriptif

This paper explores the integration of the traditional typology and the archeometallurgical analysis in the study of relief brooches found in Denmark. While typological frameworks have long provided insights into chronology, function and networks, methods such as XRF and LA-ICP-MS calls for a
deeper understanding of chemical composition, production methods, and network patterns.
The study places Danish-found relief brooches within established and acknowledged typological classifications and by assessing their archaeological contexts such as hoards, burials, and single finds, it is possible to gain much more knowledge. These classifications serve as a foundation for evaluating how typology has shaped interpretations of Early Medieval metalwork. Carefully selected brooches are analysed to determine chemical compositions, manufacturing techniques, and potential sources of raw materials.
By comparing typological classifications with archaeometric data, this research highlights the benefits of interdisciplinary approaches to the study of small finds. The results demonstrate how scientific analysis can refine and illuminate interpretations and it underscores the necessity of integrating  traditional archaeological approaches with advanced scientific methods.
