UV lámpa segítségével választottuk ki a tárgyakat, mert a bennük lévő uraniltartalom miatt így megvilágítva fluoreszkálnak. Az üvegtárgyak kémiai összetételét roncsolásmentesen, kétféle kézi röntgenfluoreszcens (XRF) spektrométerrel határoztuk meg, sugárzásukat hitelesített gammadózis teljesítmény-mérővel, valamint γ- és β-sugárzás detektálására alkalmas felületi szennyezettség-mérővel. A vastag falú, anyagában színezett, egyféle homogén üvegű emlékpoharak az anyagösszetétel és a stíluskritikai, készítéstechnikai jellemzők szerint a 19. századi cseh üvegművesség felé mutatnak. Jó minőségű kálium-kalcium üvegekből készültek, az erősebb zöld szín eléréséhez az urán mellett rezet is adagoltak három pohár üvegéhez. A vékony falú, kétféle, színes és színtelen üvegű likőrös- és borospoharak az Osztrá...

In this research, we used position-sensitive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF) and Prompt-gamma activation analysis (PGAA) for these purposes, assisted by 3D structured-light optical scanning and dual-energy X-ray radiography. The proper combination of the near-surface and bulk element composition data can shed light on raw material use and manufacturing technology of ceramics.

The object was bought by the institute in 1948 from a certain Elemér Szabó, who stated that it was found by his son on the bank of the Danube River in Esztergom. In 2021, we re-studied the find by metalwork production and use-wear analysis and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF). The results of both analyses revealed that this specimen has a highly unusual character regarding its traces of manufacturing and elemental composition. In our opinion, based on these atypical characteristics, this ‘artefact’ can be determined as a modern forgery and therefore must not be included in further studies on the so called Unterradl type violin-bow fibulae.
