Abstract
In this contribution we argue that the adoption of bronze in prehistory implied much more than the introduction of a new material. It allowed for an entirely new range of objects and added a new dimension to notions of standardization. As the first material that is potentially infinitely recyclable, it also afforded novel ideas about the connection between material and classes of valuables.
