Nebra Sky Disk:
The almost circular plate has a diameter of about 32 centimeters and a thickness of 4.5 millimeters in the middle and 1.7 millimeters at the edge. The weight is approx. 2 kilograms. The disk is made of bronze, an alloy of copper and tin, the copper content of which has been proven to come from the Mitterberg near Mühlbach am Hochkönig in the Eastern Alps. The ratio of radiogenic lead isotopes contained in the copper enables this location to be determined. In addition to a low tin content of 2.5 percent, it has a high arsenic content of 0.2 percent, which is typical for the Bronze Age. It was apparently driven from a bronze flat and repeatedly heated in order to avoid or eliminate stress cracks. This caused it to turn a deep brown to black color. Today's green coloration, caused by a layer of malachite corrosion, is the result of long storage in the ground.
The applications of unalloyed sheet gold are inlaid and have been added to and altered several times. Based on the accompanying finds (bronze swords, two axes, a chisel and fragments of spiral bracelets), it can be assumed that it was buried around 1600 BC; its date of manufacture is estimated to be between 2100 and 1700 BC.
