While thousands of analyses of archaeological bronzes have been reported in the literature, the basis for comparing them, especially those from different laboratories, is shaky. A round-robin project of chemical analyses was attempted to improve the situation. Two ancient bronze objects were milled to a fine powder, sieved, and mixed to a homogeneous mass. Samples of 500 mg each drawn randomly from this mass were circulated, and results were returned from 21 laboratories. Forty-eight elements were analyzed; some laboratories did only one element, some did as many as 42. The coefficient of variance (or relative standard deviation) ranges from 4% for Cu up to over 200% for some trace elements. The results are tabulated, and methods are suggested to narrow the spread of results in the next run of this program.
