A possible explanation for the presence of calcium and phosphorus in melting crucibles

Eklöv Pettersson, Paul LU and Lönnberg, Mats (2016) In HMS The crucible 91(1). p.4-5
Abstract (Swedish)
This text focuses on the presence of calcium and phosphorus in connection with copper-alloy residue on the inside of melting crucibles from south Sweden dated to the late Bronze Age (ca. 1100 - 500 BC). The increase of Ca and P on the crucibles is not seen in general or overall but instead observed as a relative increase only on the inside were the metal was melted. The authors of this article wish to present a possible explanation for this different from that of earlier studies on this matter.
