Abstract
The article presents the results of research on the chemical composition of raw metal for jewelry production in the X – XVIII centuries from the territory of Northern and Central Belarus. The author comes to the conclusion that the predominant use of high-zinc multicomponent alloys, as well as tin-lead alloys and unalloyed low-melting metals is a distinctive feature of local non-ferrous metalworking. The presence of complex alloys with a high zinc content in the sample indicates direct contacts of local jewelers with ore mining and brass production centers. Wide spread of tin-lead alloys in XII – XIII centuries is associated with an increase in the pace of religious construction, availability of raw materials, ease of processing and external similarity to silver. It is noted that non-ferrous metals entered the region standardized in the form of ingots, as well as in the form of scrap metal of various origins.
