Slags from copper processing at the Al Salili site, 2000 BC, Sultanate of Oman
 Cseryová, Viktória ; Trubač, Jakub (advisor) ; Bursák, Daniel (referee)
Metallurgy in the Arab world has always been famous. Research is currently underway on the territory of Oman, which should reveal more details of the ore deposits that were used for the production of ancient artifacts. This work aims to describe appropriate methods that will allow us to gain insight into the secrets of processing copper deposits at the al-Ṣalaylī site in Oman. This bachelor thesis deals with the overall chemical and mineralogical composition of ancient copper metallurgical slags from the al-Ṣalaylī site in Oman (South-eastern Arabia). These slags can probably be dated in range from the Late Bronze Age, Early Iron Age to Middle Islamic Period. This work aimed to characterize collected slag using a combination of optical and scanning electron microscopy analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis and electron microanalysis, it has been possible to determine the composition and describe the mineral phases in the slag and to determine the conditions of the prehistoric metallurgical process. The results of analysis indicated that the samples were pieces of tapped slag and furnace slag from a production of copper. Examined slags are mainly composed from Ca-Fe-Mg olivine and clinopyroxene filled with silicate glass and spinel. Copper either occurs as metallic phase with small Cu grains or is...
