Abstract

This article deals with the study of the collection of metal objects in a collection resulting from the discovery of a shipwreck from the Modern Age. Through the inventory of the objects under study, a formal, functional, and social analysis was developed. The aim is to highlight the scarce study dedicated to brass objects and, with special emphasis, pewter objects in Portugal, in addition to dissecting the methodologies used internationally and documenting the discrepancy of information between the different scientific contexts that have been dedicated to the subject.
