Abstract

Nine fragments of gold wire from pre- HispanIc South America are examined by optical microscopy, metallography, scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe analysis, atomic absorption. spectrophotometry and optical emission spectrophotometry. The wires examined include examples of hammered gold wire, block-twisted wire and strip-twisted wire. Cast gold wire, made by the lost-wax process, was commonly employed in both the Muisca and the Sinú cultural areas of ancient Colombia. Very fine rectangular gold wire, about 12μ by 40μIn sectIon, was made in the La Tolita-Tumaco area and an early example is dated to about 325 B.C. This wire may have been made by cutting fine hammered gold foil. Apart from the cast examples, all the gold wires examined were made in native gold alloys which are typical for the Colombian-Ecuadorian area.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
