The project aimed to trace the invention and innovation of metallurgy in the Balkans. It combined targeted excavations and surveys with extensive scientific analyses at two Neolithic-Chalcolithic copper production and consumption sites, Belovode and Ploc?nik, in Serbia. At Belovode, the project revealed chronologically and contextually secure evidence for copper smelting in the 49th century BC. This confirms the earlier interpretation of c. 7000-year-old metallurgy at the site, making it the earliest record of fully developed metallurgical activity in the world. However, far from being a rare and elite practice, metallurgy at both Belovode and Ploc?nik is demonstrated to have been a common and communal craft activity. This monograph reviews the pre-existing scholarship on early metallurgy in the Balkans. It subsequently presents detailed results from the excavations, surveys and scientific analyses conducted at Belovode and Ploc?nik. These are followed by new and up-to-date regional syntheses by leading specialists on the Neolithic-Chalcolithic material culture, technologies, settlement and subsistence practices in the Central Balkans. Finally, the monograph places the project results in the context of major debates surrounding early metallurgy in Eurasia before proposing a new agenda for global early metallurgy studies." 517 $aRise of Metallurgy in Eurasia 606 $aMetallurgy$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aBalkan Peninsula$xAntiquities 607 $aEurasia$xAntiquities 615 0$aMetallurgy$xHistory 676 $a669.00901 702 $aRadivojevic?$b Miljana 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 801 2$bUkLUC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910619484203321 996 $aThe rise of metallurgy in Eurasia$93014631 997 $aUNINA
