This Element reviews the golden age of provenance studies in archaeology, shows the complexity of materials and human behavior, and is reliable for lithics and obsidian but complex for ceramics and metals. It suggests focusing on human selectivity and processing, and the wider resources available, rather than simply focusing on the object's origin.
