500 | _aThe focus of the book is primarily on the ancient metal technology South Asia but its not a technical treatise. Archaeometallurgy has been situated in the matrix of archaeology. 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. | ||
