Archaeometallurgy in the 21st Century

Abstract

Over the past two decades, significant changes in the study of ancient metallurgy have re-focused attention on ancient technological practices and the social behaviors they imbue. However, such anthropologically relevant research has not been universally adopted by all “archaeometallurgists,” nor applied in the same way even by those who endorse the new theoretical paradigm. In this article, five recent books on ancient metallurgy are reviewed to demonstrate the range and variety of archaeometallurgical literature in the early 21st century.
