Abstract


This article deals with the study of the assessment of the natural aging of archaeological pieces, as a dating model for ancient pieces of iron and steels. As introduction of the article, it also shows other three methods. The first one is radiocarbon dating. The other ones are based on the diffusion of some elements by means of the corrosion layer and the slags. The method, which has been researched, has been applied to the specific issue of the sword Tizona. It propounds a mathematical method, which allow us to verify its age. Optic Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), both low and high resolution, are techniques used to carry out this study.
