provenience
Provenience, also commonly known as provenance, is a term used in various fields like archaeology, art history, and paleontology. It refers to the origin, or the source, of an artifact, geological sample, work of art, or any other object, providing information about the context, discovery, and distribution of the object. It helps in understanding the object's history, purpose, and original use. Provenience also documents the ownership, custody, and location changes over time, establishing the authenticity and legal ownership of the object. It can also assist in the process of recovery and repatriation of stolen or illicitly traded cultural treasures.
