Abstract

 

The presentation will give an overview of the non-ferrous archaeometallurgical investigations focusing on key sites of UrbNet’s research focus, i.e. Ribe and Jerash. Interim results have been presented in the past. Upon completion of the two projects, conclusions about the behaviour of people in the respective sites drawn from inferences about technology made on analytical results will be discussed.

The lecture will be followed by a wine reception.
