Nikeza isibonelo sokusetshenziswa kwesayensi yezinto zanamuhla ukutadisha izinto zakudala
Context:U-Ursula Martius Franklin wayengusosayensi wezinsimbi waseJalimane-waseCanada, umcwaningi wezomzimba, umbhali, kanye nomfundisi owafundisa e-University of Toronto iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-40. UFranklin wayeyiphayona emkhakheni we - archaeometry, osebenzisa ukuhlaziywa kwezinto zanamuhla ekuvubukuleni. Ngokwesibonelo, wasebenza ekutholeni isikhathi sezinto zasendulo zobhedu, zethusi nezobumba. Esinye isibonelo esincane somsebenzi wakhe kulokhu siphathelene nalokho okwakuwumbuzo osalokhu ukhona ngesimo sezibuko zaseChina ezimnyama ezicwebezelayo ezatholakala ngobuningi emathuneni asendulo. Ukusetshenziswa kukaFranklin kokuqopha nge-microscopic, i-electron microprobe kanye nokuhlaziywa kwe-X-ray fluorescence kwaveza ubufakazi bokuthi lokho abanye ababecabanga ukuthi kungumphumela owonakalisayo empeleni kwakukhona kulezi zibuko zasendulo (nezikhali) ekuqaleni kwazo, kuma-oxide amnyama wensimbi afakwa ngamabomu eduze kobuso bezinto. UFranklin wabuye wasebenzisa ukulandisa okungokomlando nokwezincwadi okuphathelene nezibuko ezimnyama ezincwadini zamaShayina ukuze asekele lokhu akutholile. Ubuchwepheshe bukaFranklin babusebenza nasekuqaliseni isikhathi sokwakheka kwengilazi; waqondisa ucwaningo ngezinsalela zamabhande engilazi aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka eNyakatho Melika asuka ebudlelwaneni bokuqala bokuhweba phakathi kwezizwe zamaNdiya aseMelika neYurophu
I-archaeometry isebenzisa ubuchwepheshe besimanje (njenge-x-ray fluorescence) ukuze kufundwe ngemvelaphi nezindawo zezinto zasendulo. U-Ursula Franklin wayaziwa kakhulu kulo mkhakha; wathola ubufakazi bokuhwebelana kwembulunga yonke ezinsalelweni zobuhlalu bengilazi futhi wafakazela ukuthi izibuko ezimnyama ezazikhona ngobuningi emathuneni aseShayina lasendulo zazenziwe ngamabomu, hhayi ngenxa yokugqwala.
