Platinoid Microinclusions of Native Osmium Group in Ancient Gold Artifacts From Siberia and Urals as a Source of Geoarchaeological Information

“…Данный вопрос применительно к золоту Малой Азии рассмотрел П. Крэддок . В 2008 г. началось изучение минералов груп-пы осмия в древних золотых изделиях Урала [Зай-ков и др., 2008; Зайков, Зайкова, Котляров, 2010;Shemakhanskaya, Treister, Yablonsky, 2009]. Сделан-ный тогда В.В.…”

The Phenomenon of the Influence of Gold Melt on Microinclusions of Platinum Group Minerals in Ancient Gold Objects

“…The alteration of Pt microinclusions was recognized in commercial alloys, where the relict areas in the centre of the microinclusion (89 wt% Pt, 5.2 wt% Ir) are gradually substituted for material with a low Pt content (9.5 wt%) (Ogden 1977). PGM microinclusions in gold products have also been found at archaeological sites in Russia (Zaykov et al 2008(Zaykov et al , 2010Shemakhanskaya et al 2009). It has previously been established that the PMG-contaminated gold was extracted from placers confined to the orogenic belts with ultramafic rocks (Zaykov et al 2010).…”

“…The Filippovka I tsar's grave field (fifth to fourth centuries BC) is located 100 km west of the town of Orenburg, in the watershed of the Ural and Ilek rivers (Piotrovsky et al 1987). The osmium inclusions in the gold jewellery were first found by Shemakhanskaya et al (2009). PGMs were found in the gold objects collected by L. T. Yablonsky (Institute of Archaeology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow) from burial mounds nos.…”
