Metal

The fifth volume of the ARCANE series presents an up-to-date and richly illustrated synthesis of the archaeology of the 3rd millennium BC in the Upper Tigris region of Northern Iraq and South-eastern Turkey, the first to fully include the results of international rescue excavations carried out in both countries in the second half of the 20th century in the framework of dam projects. Chapter "Metal" revises metal finds. A total of 169 items have been included in the paper representing the following artefact categories: Weapons, Jewellery (garment pins and personal ornaments), Instrumenta (tools and toiletry), Vessels, and Art/glyptics.
