| Sumario: | "Scholars of ancient metallurgy gain insights from individual artifacts as well as from synthetic overviews because debates can turn on details of particular objects from particular contexts. Therefore, it is important for archaeometallurgical studies to provide comprehensive catalogs that specify the attributes of individual objects as well as contexts and the technical studies undertaken on those particular objects. This fourth volume in the series devoted to presenting and interpreting the metallurgical evidence from Ban Chiang, northeast Thailand, includes a lengthy catalog of all noteworthy metal artifacts and metallic by-products, including all artifacts subjected to metallographic and elemental analysis. The catalog summarizes all the contextual, metric, and analytical data for the study. Additional catalogs include most of the crucible remains and detailed descriptions of the petrographic studies, and a catalog of the analyzed prills found embedded in crucible fragments. These kinds of detailed catalogs form the raw material of technical and archaeological interpretation, enabling comparisons with other collections as well as allowing scholars to form their own conclusions independently of the interpretations of the authors"-- |
