Metallurgical developments in Azerbaijan from the Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age
Abstract
This article will approach the question of ancient metallurgy in Azerbaijan from the Neolithic (6th millennium BC) to the end of the Early Bronze Age (second half of the 4th-3rd millennia BC). In north-western Azerbaijan, metallurgical evidence was found during the recent excavations led by the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography within the framework of the 'Boyuk-Kesik project', and then within ANR-DFG projects 'Ancient Kura' and 'Kura in motion'. Since 2006, archaeometallurgical studies have been conducted in the laboratoy for Archaeology and Materials Sciences at the Deutsches Bergbau-Museum at Bochum, Germany. The result obtained have led us to propose today some hypotheses concerning the development of metallurgy from the 6th to the end of the 3rd millennium BC.
