The aim of this paper is to determine the types of minerals used in the construction of so called bound pendants from Sládkovičovo and Závod (SW Slovakia – Roman period Barbaricum) and the composition of the materials of the their construction frame, and briefly contextualize them within the cultural and historical context. Traditional methods of mineral identification in bound pendants have relied predominantly on macroscopic observations, often lacking precise verification. To address this, Raman micro-spectroscopy was utilized to accurately determine the types of minerals. Furthermore, surface composition analysis was conducted using portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) to examine the frames of the pendants, a technique that is infrequently applied and typically described only through macroscopic observation in existing literature. These findings contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the material composition and cultural significance of bound pendants in the Roman-period Barbaricum, highlighting the importance of precise analytical techniques in the study of archaeological artefacts.
