This paper deals with the preliminary results of the typological and analytical study of a collection of copper-based objects found at the site of Castelo Velho (Freixo de Numão). This collection is associated to different contexts from the 3rd millennium BC (Chalcolithic). The analyses, performed by non-destructive X-ray fluorescence (XRF), show that the metals were produced with almost pure copper and arsenical copper (> 2% As). Impurities, such as As (<2%), Fe, Bi, Ag, Sn, Sb and Ni, were also identified, likely due to their presence in the ores used for the production of the objects. The data suggest that the metals from Castelo Velho may be framed within the metallurgical production already known for the Chalcolithic of the North-Western Iberian Peninsula.

In this paper we wish to present briefly the latest results which have been obtained on the hard X-ray spectra of two strong sources in the Northern skies. These observations, which have been discussed in detail previously (Peterson et al., 1967), were made from balloons launched at Palestine, Texas, to 3 gm/cm2 atmospheric depth during September 1966. The Crab Nebula and the Cygnus XR-1 were observed to have a differential number power law spectra with an index of about –2 over the 20–200 keV range. Both sources have the same intensity within about 10%. The Crab Nebula has been observed on two occasions, one year apart, and showed no change in intensity over this range at about a 5% significance level.

The Crab Nebula pulsar conforms to the model of a rotating magnetised neutron star in the rate of energy generation and the exponent of the rotation law.It is suggested that the main pulse is due to electrons and the precursor to protons. Both must radiate in coherent bunches. Optical and X-ray radiation is by the synchrotron process.The wisps observed in the Nebula may represent the release of an instability storing about 1043 erg and 1047–48 particles.Finally, some considerations are made about the general relation between supernova remnants and rotating neutron stars.
