| description |
This article developed an archaeometric examination of the brass sheathing remains recovered from two mid-19th-century shipwrecks, in Mexico: El Ángel site and the Black Warrior (1858), studied by the Vice-Directorate of Underwater Archaeology (SAS) of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) in collaboration with scholars from other research centres. The main aim of this research was twofold: on the one hand, to obtain compositional and microstructural data of brass sheets produced by the Muntz company in different periods and shed light on its features; on the other hand, to provide new data that help to assess the El Ángel site. Although the vessel’s identity has not been defined yet, the analysed evidence links it to the mid-19th-century logwood british trade. The Black Warrior was thus far preliminarily explored, but it has provided valuable data to compare with. Based on historical research and archaeometric analyses using XRD and XRF, a discussion on the manufacturing processes, materials, and patents associated with Muntz company’s brass sheathings is developed. The information obtained has contributed to the study of both wreck sites and is significant for assessing other unidentified sites. |

En este artículo se expone el examen arqueométrico de muestras de chapas de revestimiento recuperadas de dos sitios de naufragio de mediados del siglo XIX, en México: El Ángel y Black Warrior, estudiados por la Subdirección de Arqueología Subacuática (SAS) del Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH) en colaboración con especialistas de otros centros de investigación. El objetivo principal de este estudio fue doble: por un lado, obtener información microestructural y sobre la composición de planchas de latón producidas por la compañía Muntz en diferentes periodos y esclarecer sus características; por el otro, proporcionar nuevos datos que sirvan para evaluar el sitio El Ángel. Aunque la identidad de este pecio permanece aún sin definir, la evidencia analizada lo vincula con el comercio británico del palo de tinte a mediados del siglo XIX. El Black Warrior, si bien ha sido explorado de forma preliminar, ha aportado datos de interés con fines comparativos. A partir de un estudio documental y arqueométrico a través de DRX and FRX, se discuten los procesos de manufactura, materiales y patentes asociados a las láminas de latón de la compañía Muntz. La información obtenida ha contribuido al estudio de ambos sitios y reviste interés para la evaluación de sitios de naufragio no identificados. Este artigo desenvolveu um exame arqueométrico dos restos de revestimento de latão recuperados de dois naufrágios de meados do século XIX, no México: El Ángel e Black Warrior (1858), estudados pela Vice-Diretoria de Arqueologia Subaquática (SAS) do Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e História (INAH) em colaboração com acadêmicos de outros centros de pesquisa. O principal objetivo dessa pesquisa foi duplo: por um lado, obter dados de composição e microestrutura de chapas de latão produzidas pela empresa Muntz em diferentes períodos e esclarecer suas características; por outro lado, fornecer novos dados que ajudem a avaliar o local do El Ángel. Embora a identidade da embarcação ainda não tenha sido definida, as evidências analisadas a vinculam ao comércio britânico de logwood em meados do século XIX. Até o momento, o Black Warrior foi explorado preliminarmente, mas forneceu dados valiosos para comparação. Com base em pesquisas históricas e análises arqueométricas usando XRD e XRF, foi desenvolvida uma discussão sobre os processos de fabricação, materiais e patentes associados às bainhas de latão da empresa Muntz. As informações obtidas contribuíram para o estudo de ambos os locais de naufrágio e são importantes para a avaliação de outros locais não identificados. Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.
