This case study presents the results and conclusions of chemical and metallographic analyses carried
out on metal finds (gilded silver mounts, jewelry made of silver- and copper-based alloys, and iron horse
fittings) found in nine graves excavated at the 10th century site of the Terjék-tanya at Kiskunfélegyháza
(Hungary). The examinations were performed with portable handheld X-ray fluorescence spectrometer
(ED-XRF), optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy equipped with an energy
dispersive spectroscope (SEM-EDS). Beside the determination of the chemical composition of the
non-ferrous artefacts and the inclusions of the iron samples, the aim of the study was to detect traces
and characteristics of different manufacturing methods such as fire gilding, forging, etc.
