In February 2016, 47 ingots were found in the seabed of Contrada Bulala (Gela, CL, Italy) near the site where 40 ingots had previously been recovered. The ingots composition was determined to be a Cu - Zn alloy, dated by the archaeologist to the VI century B.C. This specific alloy was then known as Orichalcum.

From an archaeological point of view, the first question raised about the new discovery was whether the ingots of the first and the second excavations belonged to the same shipwreck.

Following the previous study, an elemental analysis was performed on the ingots from the second finding by using ICP-OS and ICP-MS techniques. The chemometric treatment of the analytical results obtained on both sets, i.e. ingots from first and second discovery, confirms their similarity. Therefore, the two findings can be considered to belong to the same naval load. The lead isotopic ratios were determined on selected/representative ingots to improve the knowledge about this treasure. Results can provide information about probable location of the lead sources, that could be very useful for the reconstruction of the ancient trade routes in the Mediterranean Sea.

2016年2月，在Contrada Bulala（意大利格拉，意大利，格拉）的海床附近发现了47个晶锭，之前已在其中回收了40个晶锭。铸锭成分被确定为Cu-Zn合金，由考古学家追溯到公元前六世纪。这种特殊的合金后来被称为Orichalcum。

从考古学的角度来看，有关这一新发现的第一个问题是，第一和第二次发掘的铸锭是否属于同一艘沉船。

在先前的研究之后，使用ICP-OS和ICP-MS技术对第二次发现的铸锭进行了元素分析。在两组中获得的分析结果（即来自第一次发现和第二次发现的铸锭）的化学计量学处理证实了它们的相似性。因此，这两个发现可以被认为属于相同的海军负荷。确定所选/代表性铸锭上的铅同位素比，以提高对该宝藏的了解。结果可以提供有关铅源可能位置的信息，这对于重建地中海中的古老贸易路线可能非常有用。
