Spatial investigation of technological choice and recycling in copper‐base metallurgy of the South Caucasus

Archaeometry, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1306-1326, December 2021., 2021
Recent research has brought the prolific bronze industry of Bronze Age Colchis (modern western Georgia) into focus, but many aspects are still poorly understood. This study synthesizes and reinterprets legacy Cu alloy compositional data to investigate technological choices and spatial patterning.

Handheld methods in archaeological research on large copper alloy assemblages: HH‐XRF against HH‐LIBS

Archaeometry, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 343-371, April 2021., 2021
When alloy composition information is sought across a single large artefact assemblage, how well do handheld methods solve the problem of museum environments which restrict the movement of artefacts and destructive sampling, and which have limited in‐house technical resources?
