Beyond provenance : new approaches to interpreting the chemistry of archaeological copper alloys /

Show other versions (2)

For the last 180 years, scientists have been attempting to determine the 'provenance' (geological source) of the copper used in Bronze Age artefacts. However, despite advances in analytical technologies, the theoretical approach has remained virtually unchanged over this period, with the i...
