Use - wear analysis on metal : the raw material and metallurgical production processes

The study of use-wear on metallic instruments is still on a starting phase. The results presented here come from experiments on pure copper and bronze (5 and 15-17% tin) worked with combinations of different processes, like for instance the metal was as forged cold and annealed. We must consider the...

Zusammenfassung:The study of use-wear on metallic instruments is still on a starting phase. The results presented here come from experiments on pure copper and bronze (5 and 15-17% tin) worked with combinations of different processes, like for instance the metal was as forged cold and annealed. We must consider the influence exerted by these variables in the formation and identification of use-wears. The complexity of the experiments leads us to focus initially on a limited number of objects characteristics of the first metallurgical phases (Chalcolithic and Bronze Age). La aplicación del estudio de huellas de uso sobre instrumentos metálicos está aún en su fase incipiente. Los avances que presentamos son el resultado de una experimentación sobre cobre puro y bronces al 5 y 15% de estaño, trabajados con distintas combinaciones de procedimientos como forja en frío y recocido. Tratamos de determinar la influencia de estas variables en la formación e identificación de las huellas de uso. La complejidad de la experimentación nos ha inducido a trabajar inicialmente sobre un reducido número de instrumentos característicos de las primeras fases metalúrgicas (Calcolítico y Bronce antiguo-pleno).
