Une pendeloque en cuivre natif de Ramad

Abstract

A pendant, discovered in 1968 at Tell Ramad in Level I, was studied by macroscopic and metallographic means (Laboratoire d'archéologie des métaux, Jarville, Meurthe et Moselle). Investigations show a native copper nugget with transversal perforation ; inside the perforation were remains of a thick thread made of twisted fibre taken from a vegetal similar to nettle or jute. Authors assume that the copper might have come from Ergani in Anatolia and that this metal might have followed the same road as obsidian. This metal pendant is unique on a pre-pottery site in Syro-Palestine.
