From the availability of metals to the technology and tools needed to transform them, roughly every civilization in the Mediterranean basin has a metalsmith story. Many of the objects produced by them share a few peculiar characteristics, usages, or even shapes. In this scenario, a class of objects that can be clustered by their usage, i.e., working tools, stands out from the crowd. For this study, a set of working tools from the Nuragic civilization (Sardinia, Italy) was researched with a non-destructive technique: X-ray Fluorescence (XRF). A quantification of the chemical species present in their alloy was obtained with the use of Monte Carlo simulations. The XRMC package, used for the simulations, managed for the first time to reproduce very complex corrosion layers and to thoroughly characterize them from a chemical perspective. The obtained results were discussed and compared to other results reported in the literature.
从金属的可得性到将其转化所需的技术和工具，地中海盆地的几乎每一个文明都有一个金属工匠的故事。他们生产的许多物品都有一些独特的特征、用途甚至形状。在这种情况下，一类可以根据其用途进行归类的物品，即工作工具，脱颖而出。在本研究中，使用非破坏性技术：X射线荧光（XRF）对来自努拉吉文明（意大利撒丁岛）的一组工作工具进行了研究。通过蒙特卡罗模拟获得了其合金中存在的化学物质的定量结果。用于模拟的XRMC软件包首次成功再现了非常复杂的腐蚀层，并从化学角度对其进行了全面表征。对所得结果进行了讨论，并与文献中报道的其他结果进行了比较。
