Abstract	Materials can be nearly everlasting, even though they long lost their usefulness for a society. This panels discusses the re-use of old materials, left over from older societies, and the new use of raw materials in different contexts. In particular, the cultural historical perspective of interpreting and giving meaning is used in this approach to materials from the past.
