This paper presents archaeometric and archaeological study of a set of copper and bronze artifacts found at the sites of ancient Egypt and Nubia, which are deposited in the collection of Ägyptisches Museum - Georg Steindorff - der Universität Leipzig. Examined artifacts have been found at several important sites: Abydos, Abusir, Giza and Aniba.
They represent the development of Ancient Egyptian metallurgy in more than one and half millennium, from the Dynasty 1 (ca. 3100 - 2900 BC) until almost the end of the New Kingdom (ca. 1200 BC).
