Abstract
AbstractExcavated metals, some with secure dates as early as the eighth millennium BC, have been analyzed using a variety of scientific methods in order to provide insight into early metallurgical technology. The results are often used to reconstruct the role of technology in the social structure of the community. This lecture will review many of these methods giving examples from the examination of excavated objects.
