Provenance (from 'to come from/forth') is the chronology of the ownership, custody or location of an historical object. The term was originally mostly used in relation to works of art, but is now used in similar senses in a wide range of fields, including archaeology, paleontology, archival science, economy, computing, and scientific inquiry in general.
