| Popis | The aim of this poster is to demonstrate the application of modern metallographic analysis on Bronze Age metal weapons from Bohemia, Moravia and SW Slovakia. My research focuses on their functional properties, as well as questions of their production and provenance. If we want to understand the social and economic role of Bronze Age weapons, then data acquired with the help of archaeological science are of tremendous importance. My analysis is based on the combination of optical and scanning electron microscopy in the modern metallography analyses (SEM/EDS, p-XRF, X-ray etc.), use-wear analysis and lead isotopes analysis (MCICP- MS method). The results of a research sample of data from this area will complement the international research data network and permit the clarification of these issues in the Czech Republic. The aim is also to obtain a comprehensive source of data for further research and discussion of Bronze Age material culture in Europe. |
