As part of the Distinguished Virtual Seminar Series in Archaeological Science, the Cranfield Forensic Institute will host Dr. Miljana Radivojević (UCL) for a talk entitled:

The rise of metallurgy in Eurasia: Archaeological science takes on invention and innovation

This seminar talk will present the synthesis of more than two decades of work on the origins and evolution of early metallurgy in the Balkans, which is currently the world’s earliest recorded. Extensive archaeomaterials and archaeological science research, combined with field campaigns and experimental reconstruction, provide an insight into the lives of metal making communities 7,000 years ago. The quest for the ‘earliest’ has over the years been replaced with the quest for understanding the origins and evolution of the knowledge of metalmaking.
