Introduction
The idea included in the title ,, Leather without borders ,, has many meanings: territorial, chronological and factual,

from prehistoric artefacts found at the famous ,, Iceman ,, through parts of medieval helmets made of organic materials
found in Damascus to modern Iberian objects. The studies included in the volume focus on objects of various kinds
(shoes,weaponry,equestrian equipment), made of various types of leather,including fish, preserved in different climatic,
geological and social conditions, presenting various research, conservation and museum challenges.
