that would not be able to be used.Reprinted in 1990, this book is based upon the author's Metallurgy in Archaeology (1962). Incorporating the results of work done between 1960 and 1982, this comprehensively revised text covers native metals, copper and copper-based alloys, tin, lead, silver, antimony, and the fabrication of nonferrous metals.

Weird. That snippet appears for me at https://books.google.com/books/about/Sir_Henry_Bessemer_F_R_S.html?id=imtEAQAAMAAJ which is a different scan from the one I thought I linked. That snippet must be mixed up with a different publication because Bessemer died before 1900.annise wrote: ↑October 2nd, 2021, 4:51 pm I can't access the full book but based on this snippetthat would not be able to be used.Reprinted in 1990, this book is based upon the author's Metallurgy in Archaeology (1962).
