Metallurgical Activities During French Colonial Attempts In North America: The Case Study Of The Cartier-Roberval Site (1541-1543) (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Nicolas Lessard. Adelphine Bonneau. Aude Mongiatti.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Pre-Recorded Video Presentation Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. One of the first French colonial attempts in North America led to the construction of a fort close to the current Quebec City, by Jacques Cartier and Jean-François de La Rocque de Roberval between 1541 and 1543. French settlers, under the command of François Ier, aimed to find precious metals in the...

Mixtec Goldworking: New Evidence for Lost-Wax Casting from Late Postclassic Tututepec, Oaxaca. (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Marc Levine.

Gold jewelry and ornaments produced in Late Postclassic Oaxaca were among the finest ever made in Mesoamerica. Yet the paucity of archaeological evidence for metallurgical production in Oaxaca has frustrated efforts to better understand these spectacular objects and their role in Postclassic society. This paper presents the results of an analysis of 42 ceramic molds from the Late Postclassic (1100-1522 CE) Mixtec Capital of Tututepec. I argue that the molds were utilized to cast internal cores,...

Multi-Scalar Analysis of Copper and Silver Production under the Inka: A Case Study from Northern Chile (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Colleen Zori.

Andean prehistory witnessed the development of numerous regional metallurgical traditions that were harnessed and significantly restructured as the Inka empire (AD 1400-1532) expanded along western South America. Taking the Tarapacá Valley of northern Chile as a case study, I analyze how imperial incorporation altered the production of copper and silver across multiple spatial scales. I begin at the regional level, analyzing how the procurement and transport particularly of silver-bearing ores...

Native Copper Innovation in the North (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only H. Kory Cooper. Robert Speakman. Antonio Simonetti. Matthew Pike. Garett Hunt.

Native copper occurs in the Northwest Coast, western Subarctic, and Central Canadian Arctic and Subarctic. In all three regions there is archaeological evidence for its use by Hunter-Gatherers before the Contact Period. Since 2011, our project has been studying the innovation of native copper metallurgy in these three regions within a Behavioral Archaeology framework using data collected from: experimental archaeology, oral history, lead isotope analysis, research on museum collections using...

Nested-Context Perspective of Craft Production: Middle Sicán Metallurgy (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Izumi Shimada.

Different facets and stages of craft production commonly occur in different spatial loci regardless of differences in medium, technology, intensity and/or scale. Locational differences may be relatively minor with different facets or production stages being practiced concurrently, or masters and apprentices occupying different areas of a given room or workshop. While sheet metal preparation and alloying both require constant heat sources, the former requires a clean area protected from winds and...

Non-Invasive Analyses of Metal Artifacts from The Milpillas Site, Zacapu, Michoacán. (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Manuel Espinosa-Pesqueira. Blanca Maldonado. Isabel Medina-González. Gérald Migeon.

The West Mexican region of Zacapu (today Michoacan, Mexico) is known to have witnessed the rise and development of the Tarascan Empire during middle Postclassic period. Archaeological evidence indicates that this area underwent major spatial and social reorganization around 1200 AD, events that indicate socio-political and ideological changes generated by the centralization of power in Tarascan society. Tarascan metallurgy represents a valuable reference for understanding the cultural context in...

A novel method to hypothesize the movements of archaeological metal: a case study on the bronze metallurgy in the central Eurasian Steppe Belt by the second millennium BC (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only YIU-KANG (Gary) HSU. Peter Bray. Mark Pollard.

Traditionally, archaeometallurgists have been focusing on the provenance of metal which assumes a direct linkage between the chemistry of metal ores and metal objects. On the basis of this assumption, they have attempted to reconstruct the flow of raw material across regions/cultures. However, this approach is potentially flawed, since the recycling of metal would alter the initial composition of objects, making the straightforward comparison of metal and ore chemistry problematic. Rather than...

The Origin of Metallurgy in China: Retrospect and Prospect (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Yun Ge.

This is an abstract from the "New Thoughts on Current Research in East Asian Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Early metallurgy is considered one of the most essential factors to the development of Chinese civilization, and the controversy concerning its origin has been going on for decades.With increasing number of early bronzes found in the past decades, scholars keep renewing their views on this topic, and as a result, the controversy...

Paint It Black: the rise of metallurgy in the Balkans (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Miljana Radivojevic.

This study integrates archaeological, microstructural and compositional data of c. 7000 years old metallurgical production evidence with an aim to address the how and why of the world’s earliest metallurgy. The main focus is set on copper ores and metal production debris coming from four Vinča culture settlements in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, all dated between c. 5400 – 4400 BC. Chemical study of copper minerals throughout all sites points at striking uniformity in selecting black and...

A preliminary analysis of the metal finds from Békés 103 (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Anna Szigeti. Virág Varga. Viktória Kiss.

Bronze is a central economic and symbolic focus in the European Bronze Age, and the distribution of metals found in Bronze Age burial contexts can suggest differences in wealth. This poster analyzes the bronze artifacts from the site of Békés 103, a Bronze Age site in Eastern Hungary. Previous work at settlements in this area indicates little social inequality and suggests that metal production was not centralized at larger settlements (fortified tell-sites). Study of the distribution of metals...

Ring the bell: A spatial comparative analysis of copper bells between the Greater Southwest and Michoacán. (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jose Luis Punzo. Lissandra Gonzalez.

Recent studies about metal work in the Proyecto Arqueologia y Paisaje del Area Centro Sur de Michoacan gave us the possibility of analyze a wide sample of copper bells from different collections and in museums along this western state in Mexico. In this paper we will present a comparative analysis between our database of Michoacan’s copper bells with the ones found in the USA southwest and specially in Paquime, Chihuahua, focusing on the Period 2 (AD 1200-1300 to Spanish invasion) like the most...

Silver Production and Inka Expansion in the South Central Andes (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Carol Schultze. Colleen Zori.

Silver was an important component of the Andean prestige economy with bestowal and display of silver and silver-alloyed objects constituting a vital tool of Inka statecraft. The quest for mineral wealth was thus a motivating factor for Inka conquest of the South Central Andes. Nonetheless, the impacts of imperial incorporation on the organization and technology of metal production differed across this region of the empire. Focusing on the purification of silver ores, we present two case studies...

SMELTING AND THE SCARED AT DOS CRUCES: Technological and ritual activity at a Chimu era smelting site (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Colin Thomas.

In November 2013 the Las Minas Archaeometallurgical Project completed excavations at the Chimu Era copper smelting site of Dos Cruces in the Zaña valley. Dos Cruces is an artificially terraced hill located near a river and several known copper mines. The site was divided into 4 distinct sectors, each of which was put to a different use. This paper focuses on excavations and preliminary laboratory results from the industrial or smelting sector of Dos Cruces, an area filled with slag, furnaces,...
