Abstract

All three papers will deal with the interpretation of archaeological finds with the help of metallographic and technological methods: paper A will examine the evidence from two Longobardic (6th-century) smith's graves from Poysdorf (Lower Austria) and Brünn/Brno (Czechoslovakia). Paper B will show how metallpgraphic studies can assist in establishing and refining typologies of medieval weapons. Paper C will examine a small treasure from Brestovac (Croatia, 8th-9th centuries) from an archaeological, art historical and technological point of view.
