TLDR
This article analyzed artifacts from Cahokia Mounds, Illinois from a materials science perspective to shed light on techniques used by Mississippian copper workers to deform nuggets of native copper into thin sheets, and concluded that copper sheets were thinned through repeated cycles of hammering and annealing performed at temperatures achievable in an open wood fire.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Design and development of copper coatings for long term storage of used nuclear fuel
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that copper coatings can be developed as viable corrosion barriers for used fuel nuclear containers, emplaced in a deep geological repository, in order to evaluate container design and feasibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical performance of integrally bonded copper coatings for the long term disposal of used nuclear fuel
TL;DR: In this article, a Finite Element Model (FEM) of the copper-steel composite was created and validated using three point bend tests, which accurately predicts the response of the composite, including large deformation and debonding failure mechanisms.

Gold in the Southwest of the Iberian Peninsula during the 3rd Millennium BC
Francisco Nocete,Reinaldo Sáez,Moisés Rodríguez Bayona,José Miguel Nieto,A. Peramo,P. López,J.I. Gil-Ibarguchi,Nuno Inácio,S. García,J. Rodríguez +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the presence of gold products in the archaeological records of 3rd Millennium BC megalithic tombs, at some distance from the mining districts, has been identified as ornamental finds, of undetermined chronology.

The environmental impact of a pre-Columbian city based on geochemical insights from lake sediment cores recovered near Cahokia
David P. Pompeani,Aubrey L. Hillman,Matthew S. Finkenbinder,Daniel J. Bain,Alexander Correa-Metrio,Katherine M. Pompeani,Mark B. Abbott +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present geochemical data from a 1500-year-old sediment core from nearby Horseshoe Lake that records watershed impacts associated with the growth and decline of Cahokia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Copper as an essential and exotic Hopewell metal
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the actors participating in the social networks that brought copper to Ohio Hopewell societies understood and creatively maintained multiple kinds of links to this material, and especially highlight the association of large copper objects with the Isle Royale and Michipicoten sources in the Lake Superior basin.

Arsenic Bronze: Dirty Copper or Chosen Alloy? A View from the Americas
TL;DR: Tylecote as mentioned in this paper reported the results of mechanical tests carried out on experimental samples of both types of bronze over a broad range of alloy compositions, including cold worked and hot worked material.
