                                    We present Cu and Zn abundances for a sample of 30 stars spanning a 
metallicity range between solar and [Fe/H]=-3. LTE abundances were 
obtained using Kurucz model atmospheres  and the  near UV lines of  Cu I
 3273.95 and Zn I 3302.58 A observed at high spectral resolution. The 
trend of [Zn/Fe] vs [Fe/H] is essentially constant over the whole 
metallicity range however the [Cu/Fe] trend is approximately constant 
down to [Fe/H]~-1.4 and then  decreases at lower metallicities possibly 
reaching a plateau around [Cu/Fe]~-1 for [Fe/H]<-2.  We compare with 
previous work on these elements and discuss the results in terms of 
nucleosynthesis processes.
