Abstract Prehistoric metal findings from Liguria are numerous, however, even though there were many metalliferous mines, the metal-working sites have not yet been ascertained. This work discusses results on some metal objects from different archaeological sites in Liguria. The objects examined were: 1) two melting drops 2) an axe, and 3) a knife. The physico-chemical investigation techniques employed were: X-ray diffraction, radiography, microdrawing method, followed by optical and electron scanning microscopy observations, differential thermal and thermogravimetric analyses to characterize the clay core found inside a socketed knife.
