About 100 Phoenician copper alloy artefacts from Morro de Mezquitilla (Spain) have been analysed by inductively coupled plasma spectrometry and atomic unpublished analyses of contemporary material from Nimrud and with small finds of the same period from several Mediterranean areas. There are no published large‐scale analyses of Phonenician metalwork and few analyses of the copper‐based, very minor objects of the sort typically recovered from excavation and the comparisons show both similarities and differences in techniques and alloys of the various civilizations and classes of objects.
