Blowin’ in the wind: The beginning of primary metallurgy in the Early Bronze Age Aegean
Our understanding of Early Bronze Age copper smelting in the Southern Aegean has improved dramatically in the last two decades through a combination of fieldwork, laboratory analyses and experimental reconstructions. The current model which has emerged from these various studies centers on a perforated furnace stack that is used in conjunction with ceramic pot bellows. This study undertakes a critique of the current model and through a series of …
(Re)placing humanity: Responses to the crisis in archaeology
Open Area, Open Data: Advances in Reflexive Archaeological Practice
This article presents a holistic and reflexive process for archaeological fieldwork from inception to publication. The opportunities afforded by maturing digital techniques allowed fundamental rethinking of field and laboratory practice paradigms. A number of normally unquestioned aspects of archaeological praxis were examined with the goal of reorganizing information dynamics. Instead of a series of disparate processes in the field and field lab…
Copper on the Northwest Coast, a biographical approach
Enclosing the Neolithic World: A Vinča Culture Enclosed and Fortified Settlement in the Balkans
Interpretations of prehistoric enclosures worldwide have varied from those that see the primary role of enclosures as defensive features to others that explore the symbolic, ritual, social, and ideological dimensions of separating space into an inside, an outside, and an in-between. Such evidence and interpretative accounts are inevitably linked to wider anthropological discussions on modes of social interaction and reproduction in the past, whet…
Handheld Portable X ‐Ray Fluorescence of A egean Obsidians
We tested two portable XRF instruments (with different technologies) using two correction schemes (‘soils’ and ‘mining’) with both factory‐set calibrations and linear regression calibrations derived from published data. All four A egean obsidian sources, including S ta N ychia and D hemenegaki on M elos, were distinguished in each case. The newer instrument provided better ‘off‐the‐shelf’ accuracy than the older instrument, but calibrations negat…
The technological versus methodological revolution of portable XRF in archaeology
From Scale to Practice: A New Agenda for the Study of Early Metallurgy on the Eurasian Steppe
De Caerimoniae ’ Technological Choices in Copper‐smelting Furnace Design at Early Bronze Age Chrysokamino, Crete
The excavation of a number of Early Bronze Age sites in the Aegean has recovered perforated ceramic fragments. Archaeometallurgical analysis of slag adhering to these fragments indicates that they are the remains of copper‐smelting furnaces. Despite compelling analytical data supporting this identification, no attempt has been made, thus far, to establish how these unusual furnaces may have operated. The use of perforations is poorly understood a…
