| Abstract: |
the paper begins by reviewing the geological and anthropogenic factors upon which the chances of success depend in the scientific provenancing of lithic, ceramic or metal artefacts by petrographical and/or geochemical techniques. This then serves as an explanation for the proposal that a central resource be established to bring together Welsh raw materials, well-contexted artefacts and all relevant literature and physical analyses. The author argues that this assemblage should form the basis for creating a dedicated, geoarchaeological database, incorporating existing, acceptable, geochemical and petrographical data but mainly comprising new data |
