Archaeometallurgical study of copper alloy tools and model tools from the Old Kingdom necropolis at Giza
2016
Abstract
Archaeometallurgical analyses of ancient Egyptian artefacts are needed in order to better understand the context and development of ancient Egyptian metallurgy. This archaeometallurgical study was carried out within the project Early Copper Metallurgy in Ancient Egypt - a case study of the material from Ägyptisches Museum der Universität Leipzig.
The two-year project, funded by the Grant Agency of the Charles University and University of Chemical Technology, started in 2015 and focuses on artefacts in the collection of the Egyptian Museum - Georg Steindorff - of the University of Leipzig (ÄMUL) (Figure 225).
