Abstract
The project is based on the interdisciplinary work of archaeologists, chemists, metallurgists and geologists and envolves researches of archaeological metals with different natural scientific methods. The ICP-AES and PIXE methods are used along with lead isotope analyses and metallographic analyses. The vast majority of the investigated objects is classified to the Late Bronze Age, to the Ha B period (11th/10th - 9th cent. BC); the objects from the Early Iron Age, from Ha C-D (8th-6th cent. BC) will be studied to a lesser extent. The research is focused on technological procedures, concerning the production of semi-products (plano-convex ingots, cast ingots) and artefacts from copper and copper alloys, i. e. melting, alloying and casting of metals. For the first time in Slovenia the study of the ore provenance is included. A particular attention is also paid to the existence and spread of different technological novelties, i. e. the use of binary and ternary copper alloys with lead, the working of polymetallic deposits. These novelties suddenly appeared at the beginning of the 1st millenium BC and could be successfully explained by traffic, trade and social communications which linked the territory of western Slovenia primarily with the Italic peninsula.
