Abstract

Over the course of the last 50 years, the field of archaeometallurgy has grown dramatically, becoming firmly established within the realm of archaeological science. The archaeology and ethnography of African metallurgy have made a major contribution to this field, providing valuable information on the impressive range of raw materials and techniques that past metal producers and metalworkers used, as well as providing important insights into the socio-cultural settings within which these technologies operated. This paper summarises the role that Azania has played in communicating some of this research, and charts the development of African archaeometallurgy through Azania’s pages.
