Assigning provenance to tin metal used in antiquity is a prime objective in studies of archaeometallurgy and commodity trading from the Bronze Age to recent history. Conventional lead isotope provenance is comparative and rests upon tight isotopic compositions being defined for ore deposits with which the composition of an artefact, assumed to be isotopically homogeneous, may be compared. Examples of tin ingots in which the assumption of isotopic homogeneity is not valid are described from Cornwall, Devon, the Netherlands, and the eastern Mediterranean. Using a sequential leaching procedure it can be shown that anthropogenic contamination is just one cause contributing to an atypical isotopic composition. Other factors are sought to account...
