Copper is the first metal to play a large part in human history.
This work is devoted to the history of metallurgical production in
Northern Eurasia during the Bronze Age, based on experiments
carried out by the author and analyses of ancient slag, ore and
metal. It should be noted that archaeometallurgical studies include
a huge range of works reflecting different fields of activity of
ancient metallurgists. Often, all that unites these is the term
'metallurgy'. This work considers the problems of proper
metallurgy, i.e. extracting metal from ore. A number of
accompanying operations are closely connected with it, such as
charcoal-burning, ore dressing, furnace constructing, and
preparation of crucibles. In some instances the author touches upon
these operations; however the main topic of the work is the
smelting process. The closing stage of the metallurgical production
is metalworking including various casting and forging operations,
and also auxiliary operations: making of crucibles, casting molds,
stone tools for metal forging. These problems are, as a rule, out
of frameworks of this research.
