The publishing house of Messrs. Springer and Company proudly present for your consideration in their esteemed periodical Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences (Volume 17) “Sasanian and early Islamic copper-base metalworking at Qasr-e Abu Nasr, south-central Iran,” by Drs. Omid Oudbashi, Federico Carò and my humble self, containing the results of scientific analyses of thirty-three metal objects excavated at Qasr-e Abu Nasr in Iran by the stout fellows of the Persian Expedition of the Metropolitan Museum of Art between 1932 and 1935 and since that time in the keeping of the same institution, including splint armor with scales of brass, a lamp stand of a type widely known in the Mediterranean but infrequently discovered through excavation, and a most curious and unusual piece of Sasanian pewter.
