Tracing long-distance exchange of copper in southern Africa with lead isotopes (NSF BCS 1852958)
PROJECT Uploaded by: Dave Killick
Overview: This proposal is for an interdisciplinary study of copper artefacts from multiple archaeological excavations in the southern third of the African continent; the sites that yielded these artefacts date between about 300 AD and 1850 AD. Many of these archaeological sites are a long way from any potential source of copper ore. We will undertake chemical and lead isotopic analyses of some 250 copper artefacts with the goal of identifying the parent ore deposits. To do this we will...
