Copper (Cu) is only detected in significant quantities at the beaded rim’s joins (spectra 6-8). Additionally, it shows a correlated increase in nitrogen (N) and sulphur (S) with a decrease in Ag values. Analyses conducted on the rim are highlighted in orange, while those on other areas of the object are represented in black.
