A little bit more than a year passed since the end of our experiments. In the meantime we were busy in the lab and on our desks. All analyses are finished Recently, the last analyses were made and it is time now to evaluate and interpret the data and finally to publish them.
For the ones who have a nostalgic moment or missed the experiments: They are (fnally) published!
- “DBM @ RGZM: Experimente zur prähistorischen Kupferverhüttung im Labor für Experimentelle Archäologie” in der as. (Archäologie Schweiz)
- “Verhüttungsexperimente mit Chalkopyrit-Erz nach Vorbildern aus dem bronzezeitlichen Ostalpenraum und Nepal” in Experimentelle Archäologie in Europa 18 – Jahrbuch 2019
Admittedly, non-German speakers still have to wait, we are sorry. The first one has at least some nice pictures. The second one comes with an English abstract and the captions are in Englisch, too. In the second article, the experimental set-up of each experiment is shown to scale.
The next publications are already in preparation – and this time, they will be in English – promised! And they will also contain the first analytical data. However, it will take several months, until they passed the review process. Once they are published you will see it here first, stay tuned!
