Popis:	A report is presented of a series of analytical chemical tests that were carried out as part of the Fyris Swords project on two inscribed swords found in central Uppsala, Sweden UMF/B 78, which has a short inscription with religious connotations inlaid in a yellowish metal presumed to be gold, and UMF/B 74, which has a long and complex inscription also with religious overtones, inlaid in a ‘whitish’ metal, believed to be silver. The touchstone method is described in detail and its potential as a micro-destructive analytical technique for archaeological samples is discussed. Nondestructive analysis by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry is also described.
