Outline of Final Research Achievements

The usage of copper alloys in the southern Caucasus region including Georgia has a long history, and a huge number of objects from the early Bronze Age has been excavated. The Georgia National Museum collects them. Therefore, copper alloy objects from the early Bronze Age to the Iron Age have been researched as a cooperative project with the National Museum from 2014.
As a result, arsenic copper alloy, bronze, copper-tin-arsenic alloy and brass were used in ancient Georgia, and arsenic copper alloy was detected from the early Bronze Age to the early Iron Age. In general, copper alloy said to switch from arsenic copper alloy to bronze during the middle to late Bronze Age. However, this research shows that arsenic copper had continued to be used until the early Iron Age.
