    I have a very interesting book entitled "Sweat of the Sun and Tears
    of the Moon" that covers Gold and Silver in Pre-Columbian Art . 

    It is by Andre Emmerich; published by Seattle .  University of 
    Washington Press; 1965. Library of Congress Catalog Card Number
    65-10817. 

    It has a great section on Technology; Mining; Smelting;
    Hammer-working and annealing. As well as Casting, alloying and
    gilding.  It also shows Soldering techniques and deals with
    forgeries. 

    I treasure my copy as I doubt it is still in print.
