The application of advanced techniques to the study of ancient materials has increasingly led to a range of fundamental to deeper knowledge on artistic and historic artefacts, contributing to their conservation and restoration. An important role is played by materials science: scientific techniques developed in this field allow a multidisciplinary approach in archaeology, history of art, and conservation. By studying the materials that constitute an artefact, a great amount of information relevant to a work of art can be accessed, such as the elements and compounds with which it was made and their level of degradation by the time of the examination. The final goal is the possibility of determining the chronology of the making of the various parts of a work of art, its provenance, the techniques of realization, the attribution to an author, and the method of intervention for restoration. This Special Issue collects papers dealing with the application of materials science to different types of human artefacts, such as ceramics, glass, paintings, and metal objects. The considered topics range from instrumentation and technical developments to case studies and methodological innovations, from theoretical simulations to new data handling.

Diese Arbeit fokussiert auf die interdisziplinäre Aufarbeitung der spätchalkolitisch bis frühbronzezeitlich (ca. 3300-2700 v. Chr.) datierten metallurgischen Funde vom Çukuriçi Höyük, einem Tell in der Westtürkei. Das reichhaltige Fundensemble umfasst nahezu sämtliche Teile der Technologiekette (chaîne opératoire), vom Erz, Werkzeugen, Rohmetall und Barren bis hin zu Fertigprodukten, Zinnbronze und Edelmetalle ist alles vorhanden. Eine abschließende holistische Betrachtung ermöglicht es, ein vertiefendes Bild über das Metallhandwerks und seine Einbettung in frühbronzezeitliche Austausch- und Gesellschaftssysteme zu gewinnen. This work focuses on the interdisciplinary analysis of the metallurgical remains from the Tell Çukuriçi Höyük (Western Turkey), dating from the Late Chalcolithic to the Early Bronze Age (c. 3300-2700 BC). The rich ensemble of finds includes almost all parts of the technological chain (chaîne opératoire), from ore, raw metal, ingots to finished products, tin bronze and precious metals, everything is present. A concluding holistic view makes it possible to gain in-depth knowledge on the metal craft and its embedding in Early Bronze Age exchange and societal systems.
