Introduction to the theme: the potential and methods of contemporary archaeometallurgy

The article introduces the current issue’s special theme: ‘Time frozen in the metal’. It gives the reader an idea of what contemporary archaeometallurgy is as an interdisciplinary field of scholarly inquiry, based on an overview of the research studies conducted in the field by Russian scholars and presented in this special theme section. It also points to a number of issues in the field and provides an outlook for the discipline in Russia.
