The goal of the heritage process is to provide a comprehensible guide for identifying the most widespread art and craft techniques for the processing of precious metals, their correct description and the setting of appropriate approaches to their preventive and remedial conservation. In the first section, the art and craft techniques of goldsmithing are described in detail, based on the material characteristics of selected metals and their alloys, a description of the techniques themselves in connection with the historical context of their use, including risk factors of damage to artefacts made by these techniques. The terminology used is also supplemented, which is subsequently elaborated in the form of alphabetically ordered keyword lists in the appendices of the heritage process. The second section consists of a set of case studies containing reconstructions of the procedures of selected craft techniques, including examples of surveys of original artefacts verified in museum practice.
