Metals in Past Societies
This book seeks to communicate to both a global and local audience, the key attributes of pre-industrial African metallurgy such as technological variation across space and time, methods of mining and extractive metallurgy and the fabrication of metal objects.

By engaging communities “differently,” archaeology has explicitly adopted an ethical outlook, pu…
