Such studies have a meaning only in the human context of the past. The introductory chapter of the book emphasizes, by giving examples, what such technical studies should aim at and what all one can glean about the past through them. Main emphasis on copper /bronze but other metals have been duly covered: silver, gold, tin arsenic, lead, brass and iron.
