Figure 4

Box plots showing the distribution (min., 1st and 3rd quartile, median, max. values and outliers > 1.5 of IQR; values below LODs have been replaced by zeros) of As, Pb, Fe, Co, Sb, and Ni distribution in the four object types (spears, swords, axes, and sickles) in the sample of 191 analysed objects with micro XRF. Spears and sickles show overall higher As values (a) and higher max. values for Pb (b), Fe (c), and Co (d). Sb shows the lowest values in the group of swords (e), and Ni shows comparable distributions across the four object types (f). Y axis scales reflect the distribution of each element.
