Let’s Talk Traceology! Cross-Cultural and -Contextual Perspectives on Use-Wear Analysis of Specialised Copper-Based Artefacts

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Over the last three decades use-wear analysis of metal artefacts - or Metalwork Wear Analysis (Dolfini and Crellin 2016) - has become a well-established method in archaeology. By detecting and interpreting the distinctive marks left on the surface of artefacts, this technique has significantly deepened our understanding of their use. It not only offers insights into the functional aspects of tools and weapons, but also sheds light on the life cycle of objects. Furthermore, when combined with other techniques, use-wear analysis allows us to explore objects&apos; biographies and offers a window into the lives and practices of the people who made, used, and discarded them. This session invites researchers from across the globe to present and discuss use-wear analyses on copper-based artefacts, including copper alloys such as bronze. We invite a wide variety of contributions but particularly encourage submissions focused on tools and weapons - such as swords, spears, daggers, and axes - from different archaeological contexts, allowing for cross-cultural comparisons of wear patterns and interpretations, identifying both similarities and regional variations in the use of these objects, as well as exploring how context influences wear traces. We also welcome contributions that examine region-specific artefact types and compare their use to similar objects from other areas, thereby broadening our interpretive framework. Participants are encouraged to present their observations through both oral presentations and visual formats. Also, pictures and photos regarding use-wear traces on posters in panel discussions are welcome.
