I would also like to thank Prof. Garfinkel and Saar Ganor, the excavators of Khirbet Qeiyafa, for granting me the opportunity to work on the material from the site. I first worked at Qeiyafa as a student during the field school, after my first year of studies in 2012, and then as a staff member in 2013. It is a great honour and a pleasure for me to contribute to this unique project in yet another way -by analysing the assemblage of the metal finds. I wish to thank the staff members and the volunteers of the expedition who worked at the site. Special thanks are due to Dr. Michael Freikman, Prof. Michael Hasel, Igor Kreimerman, Haggai Cohen Klonymus, Peter Zilberg and Itamar Weissbein for consulting me on the registration data, various stratigraphic questions etc.

In this chapter, we present the typology of the objects and a quantitative approach to the advent of iron (Chapter 40A), chemical and isotopic analysis of copper-based and lead objects (Chapter 40B), and evidence for bronze production (Chapter 40C) and for iron working (Chapter 40D).

At this early date, iron was already used rather extensively for utilitarian purposes at the site, though bronze was not yet restricted to decorative use. The metal assemblage from Khirbet Qeiyafa, therefore, provides a rare glimpse into the transition from bronze to iron at the beginning of Iron Age II. This article presents the typology and spacial distribution of the finds, followed by a discussion of their possible cultural and social implications.
