Abstract
Shahdad and Yahya which are two important prehistoric sites in the Kerman Province, are of most important for
Archaeometallurgical studies. During excavations at these sites a number of metal objects have been discovered.
Moreover, evidence of metal working on the surface testify to manifacturing of metal objects. This also shows that the
site might have experienced craft specialization.
The following contribution is representing results of archaeometallurgical investigations on several metal artifacts from
prehistoric contexts from the sites of Tepe Yahya and Shahdad which are situated in Kerman Province. The aim of this
research is to investigate the provenance of the raw materials which had been used. Further some new observations
concerning the distribution of artifacts will be presented.
