Abstract
This paper presents a short summary of the current state of archaeometallurgy of non-ferrous metals in Israel, from the Chalcolithic to the Persian period. The following topics are discussed: the compositional changes of metal artefacts through time; metal production remains (when available); mode of production and information obtained from chemical and metallographic analyses; the possible connection between changes in metal composition; and typological changes in shape, size, and color of metal products.
