Abstract

Looking back to ten years of personal experience in experimental copper and bronze casting, the author exarnines aspects of recent international developments in this field. Examples from publications of scientific research and public oriented applications of copper and bronze casting show the strengths and weaknesses of the theory and practical implementation of experimental archaeometallurgy. In terms of sustainability, experimental results seem to suffer from being ignored not only by non-experimenting archaeologists but even by the small group of collegues who do conduct experiments. International collaboration in the form of workshops is proposed as a possibility to channel methodological, strategic and practical efforts. Since reading about experiments does not seem to suffice, perhaps actually watching them may prevent the need to reeinvent the wheel time and again.
