The Archaeometallurgy of the Asian Old World (University Museum Monographs)

Written by eminent scholars in the field, this edited volume is the first to treat in a comprehensive manner the archaeology of metallurgy's origins, focusing specifically on initial uses of copper and bronze, as well as the coming of iron across Asia from the Eastern Mediterranean to the Far East. It is a volume that should serve for some time to come as the source of the fundamental information upon which larger interpretations of metallurgical developments in Asia will be grounded. MASCA research papers, Vol. 16The Archaeometallurgy of the Asian Old World (University Museum Monographs), was published 1999 under ISBN 9780924171345 and ISBN 0924171340.
