As the assignment of this abstract is to introduce ourselves - we are two members of the Natural Sciences and Archaeometry Department of the Institute of Archaeology of the CAS, Prague. We currently finished a project aimed at geochemical analyses of the copper alloy, silver and glass objects from the Iron Age in central Europe ("Mobility of materials and life cycles of artefacts: archaeometry of metals and glass of the La Tène and Early Roman period"), our primary focus was provenance analysis with respect to historical questions. During the course of the project, we have encountered many issues that resonate strongly with the points made in this session proposal - especially the one regarding the lack of contextualization and proper archaeological or historical question underlying the analyses. Therefore, we would very much like to attend this discussion and welcome the keynote given by Mark Pearce.
