Abstract
The possibilities of archaeometric analyses and their positive application in interpreting archaeological sites led to the realisation of the exhibition titled ‘In the Service of Archaeology’, displayed at the Zagreb City Museum in the year 2013. Displaying the archaeological find in the context of the results of interdisciplinary research was intended to acquaint the public with the powerful dynamics of the changes through which archaeology has passed during the past several decades, as well as to draw attention to the need to master contemporary methods and technologies that enable our understandings to become more comprehensive. This presentation is, among other things, author reflexion on the experience of working with numerous experts in archaeometry, as well as on the museological concept of the exhibition.
