The Eurasian Spread of Tin-Bronze Metallurgy with Special Reference to Prehistoric Thailand

Archaeological Institute of America Lecture

Vincent Pigott (Research Associate, ISAW)

Recent, remarkable discoveries of ancient tin sources in the Near East and Inner Asia are shedding new light on an old question, namely, "Where's the tin?". This research will be addressed in the broader context of Eurasian developments in bronze metallurgy, and the discussion will conclude with an overview of the massive evidence for copper production now well documented in prehistoric Thailand.

There will be a reception folowing the event.

This is a public event.
