The International Union of Prehistoric and Protohistoric Sciences (UISPP), an organisation with
over 90 years of history, includes all the fields and disciplines that contribute to the development of
prehistory and protohistory. To achieve their goals, the UISPP organises periodically a world congress
on prehistoric and protohistoric sciences. Based on proposals received, the general assembly decides
on the creation of scientific commissions, following the advice of the executive committee of the
UISPP. The main objective of these commissions is to promote and coordinate international research
in a specific or specialised domain of the prehistoric and protohistoric sciences between each world
congress. Based on the success and interest shown in a session of the 17th UISPP Congress, the need has
arisen to create a new scientific commission in the field of archaeometry. This brief text describes the
creation of this commission and its scientific activities to date. The commission aims at discussing and
transmitting the archaeometric approaches to technologies in Prehistory and Protohistory concerning
lithic technology, metallurgy, ceramics and glass making; gathering and organising the results,
conclusions and circumstances of archaeometric case studies of artifacts; paying particular attention
to production, procurement and characterisation of raw materials, and fabrication technologies; and
discussing relevant interdisciplinary investigation methods and techniques.
