The study of ancient metals in their social and cultural contexts has been a topic of considerable interest in archaeology and ancient history for decades, partly due to the modern dependence on technology and man-made materials.

Covering the full scope of archaeological time-periods and regions, this volume will be a valuable resource for those studying archaeology worldwide. It provides a clear, straightforward look at the available methodologies, including:§Smelting processes§Slag analysis§Technical Ceramics§Archaeology of Mining and Field Survey§Ethnoarchaeology§Chemical Analysis and Provenance Studies§Conservation Studies§With chapters focused on each geographic region of Archaeometallurgical inquiry, researchers will find practical applications for metallurgical techniques in any area of their study.
