Abstract
An archaeological artifact, representing a compound piece of the Bronze Age, the outer surface of which is encrusted with seeds, has been investigated. The chemical composition of the organic binder was determined by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry; X-ray fluorescence analysis was used to determine the nature of the inorganic base of the artifact.
