摘要：Our paper presents the study of a basket-shaped pendant from the 2nd-3rd century A.C., discovered inside a funeral urn, in the Gabăra-Moldoveni necropolis, Neamț county (Romania), in which we used optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy, coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) The results of our experiments revealed that the corrosion crust contained complex, surface and interior structures. The exterior layer was relatively uniform, but the interior one was non-homogeneous, with a variable porosity. Those structures were generated under the anthropic influences, by burning rituals undergone before abandonment and under the influence of the environment in which the object was discovered, which triggered evolving processes of physical-structural and chemical deterioration. Their positioning, the morphology and the composition of the two structures (the surface and the area of contact with the basic alloy) were used to perform archaeometric evaluations.
