Lead isotopes link copper artefacts from northwestern Botswana to the Copperbelt of Katanga Province, Congo
Non-ferrous metal artefacts from the northern Lowveld, South Africa, ca. 1000 CE to ca. 1880 CE
Copper mining and smelting technology in the northern Lowveld, South Africa, ca. 1000 CE to ca. 1880 CE
Smelting of magnetite and magnetite–ilmenite iron ores in the northern Lowveld, South Africa, ca. 1000 CE to ca. 1880 CE
Metal working at Bosutswe, Botswana
This paper provides the results of a detailed metallurgical analysis of the gold, copper, bronze and iron artifacts and slag recovered from excavations, carried out in 1990 and in 2001–2002, at Bosutswe on the eastern edge of the Kalahari Desert. While we find that the general manufacturing technologies of smelting and metal artifact production did not change greatly over time, and are indeed similar across vast distances of southern Africa, the …

An exploratory study of copper and iron production at Marothodi, an early 19th century Tswana town, Rustenburg District, South Africa
Slag Identification at Southern African Archaeological Sites
nents of southern African Iron Age sites. Their correct identification is crucial to understanding technological processes performed at these sites. This paper presents criteria for distinguishing between iron smelting slags, iron forging slags, copper smelting slags, crucible slags resulting from melting activities, vitrified clay and various biomass materials. Slag identification should entail a combination of morphology, microscopic study, che…

Metal Working in the Northern Lowveld, South Africa A.D. 1000–1890
The Iron Age archaeology of the northern Lowveld of South Africa is notable for the abundance of mining, metal working, and salt production sites recorded in the region. We report the results of scientific studies of the metallurgical remains recovered from 1965 to 1978 by Nikolaas J. van der Merwe, David Killick, and colleagues in various campaigns of survey and excavation in the Phalaborwa region, a major center of precolonial metallurgy. Both …

Metallurgical Analyses of Slags, Ores, and Metal Artefacts from Archaeological Sites in the North-West Province and Northern Transvaal
Early Metal Working in Sub-Saharan Africa
This paper is a review of the course of research during the past decade into the history of indigenous metal working in sub-Saharan Africa. It comprises three sections: a summary of the chronology of early metallurgy and the spread of metal working; a description of African metal working in terms of mining, smelting and smithing, with particular emphasis on recent interpretations of the iron-smelting technology; and a conclusion summarizing the m…
Early Iron Age Metal Working at the Tsodilo Hills, Northwestern Botswana
Early Iron Age Metal Working from the Site of Kwagandaganda, Natal, South Africa
Electron Spin Resonance Thermometry Applied to Quartzite Cobbles From Vergelegen Slave Lodge, Somerset West, South Africa
This paper describes the use of electron spin resonance spectroscopy to estimate the degree of heating of quartzite cobbles from hearths on the floor of the archaeological remains of an eighteenth‐century Dutch colonial slave lodge. A novel technique based on the comparison of line intensities for the E’and O ‐ 2 centres in quartz distinguished successfully between cobbles which had been heated to estimated temperatures ranging from 300 °C to 450…
