Abstract Lead stocks of wooden-lead anchors found along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast and typologically dated VI c. B.C.-III c. A. D. have been analyzed for chemical composition and lead isotope ratios by INAA, AAS and mass spectrometry. Using multivariate methods for analysis as well as simple bivariate plots the lead for production of the stocks was localized as originating from Laurion, Thassos, Troas, Chalkidike and the Rhodopes. In general, the chemical composition is not recommended to be used for provenance study of lead artefacts. Combining the results from this study with the existing typological classification certain conclusions about the production and distribution of lead anchors in the Aegean region are made.
