The Chrysokamino Metallurgy Workshop and its Territory, Paperback / softback Book

The Chrysokamino Metallurgy Workshop and its Territory Paperback / softback

Part of the Hesperia Supplement series

Paperback / softback

Description

This detailed report describes archaeological fieldwork conducted between 1995 and 1997 in rural northeast Crete.

Excavations were made in two locations: a metallurgy workshop (abandoned in EM III) and a nearby rural habitation site, perhaps a farmhouse (used until LM III).

An intensive survey of the vicinity revealed other activities in the area from the Early Neolithic onwards, and placed the sites in a micro-regional context.

A publication of the Minoan farmhouse will appear subsequently, but this volume stands on its own as both an overview of the project and as a detailed study of the copper smelting workshop.
