探索青铜器的矿料来源一直是青铜时代考古的重大课题。长期以来，很多学者从多个方面围绕这一问题作了认真的研究，但结果仍不尽人意。在国外，自19世纪中期开始，微量元素示踪法即已用于青铜器矿料来源的探索^[1]。遗憾的是，由于对青铜冶铸过程中微量元素的变化规律认识不足，除纯铜制品外，该方法难以给出令人满意的结果，

By using the inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer （ICP-AES）, the authors make analyses and tests of the trace elements in the copper ores, slag, ingots and coagulated grains from several sites of mining and smelting of pre-Qin times. The results suggest that in the smelting process, the trace elements Au, Ag, As, Sb, Bi, Se, Te, Co, Ni, etc. were concentrated mainly in the copper and they are indicative of the provenance of the raw material of bronze casts. Meanwhile, the copper ores and ingots unearthed from different sites of mining and smelting are distinctly diverse in the character of trace elements, so it is feasible to determine the exporting route of ancient copper ores by using the trace element tracing technique, especial to trace various copper mineral deposits.
