Interior with minor signs of wear.; "Information about the structure of materials and technology of manufacture of ancient and historic objects and artifacts can provide insight into their date, place of origin, and probable use. Investigations of structure may also be very important for documentation, preservation strategy, or conservation treatment. For many decades objects from a variety of materials and dating from prehistory to the present have been scientifically studied, many of them by metallographic techniques. Most of the results are scattered throughout the international literature, are some- times inaccessible, and often not published at all. Frequently the need has been expressed, in national and international meetings, to collect information on certain types of objects or classes of materials in one place and to make it available as a database or publication. This volume is an attempt to provide a measured amount of information regarding the techniques of metallography as they apply to ancient and historic metals. It is illustrated with many examples of different types of microstructure, drawn from David Scott's many years of experience in this field of study. We hope that the present volume, developed with the guidance of Dr. Frank Preusser, Associate Director, Programs, GCI, will be a useful book for students, conservators, conservation scientists, and workers in the area of metallography, especially those seeking to understand the nature of microstructure as it applies to ancient materials. The book is the first in a series of reference works that the Getty Conservation Institute is publishing on materials used in conservation and technology. The Getty Conservation Institute and the J. Paul Getty Museum have been involved collaboratively with this work and present this volume as copublishers." foreword by Miguel Angel Corza Director, The Getty Conservation Institute Marina del Rey, California.…
