However, despite advances in analytical technologies, the theoretical approach has remained virtually unchanged over this period, with the interpretative methodology only changing to accommodate the increasing capacity of computers. This book represents a concerted effort to think about the composition of Bronze Age metal as the product of human intentionality as well as of geology. It considers the trace element composition of the metal, the alloying elements, and the lead isotopic composition, showing how a combination of these aspects, along with archaeological context and typology, can reveal much more about the life history of such artefacts, expanding considerably upon the rather limited ambition of knowing where the ore was extracted. 410 0$aStudies in archaeological sciences ;$vVolume 6.0. 517 $aBeyond Provenance 606 $aCopper alloys 606 $aArchaeological chemistry 606 $aBronze age 615 0$aCopper alloys. 615 0$aArchaeological chemistry. 615 0$aBronze age. 676 $a930.1028 700 $aPollard$b A.
