Abstract
The article presents the results of the analysis of data on the chemical composition of non-ferrous metal products of the 10th-13th centuries discovered during archaeological research on the territory of particular sites of Central Belarus. The authors come to the conclusion that Non-ferrous metalworking in the region is characterized by the predominance of bronzes with high concentrations of tin and lead and by the widespread use of copper-zinc alloys with a significant zinc content. It is noted that the significant prevalence of multicomponent alloys with a high content of alloying components in the sample indicates that the local artisans used scrap metal minimally contaminated during remelting as raw material.
