Abstract:
Marie Curie Early Stage Research Fellowship (ESR01) at the department of History and Archaeology, University of Cyprus.
Description:
This research fellowship (equivalent to PhD research) focuses on the production and trade of Cypriot copper during the Late Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age. Archaeometallurgical remains from various Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age sites in Cyprus will be studied using a variety of analytical techniques (Optical Microscopy, SEM-EDS, XRF etc.) in an attempt to understand the different processes and the organisation of the copper industry during these important periods of the island’s history. The project builds on the successful work of earlier research on Cyprus, and expands it into the later periods when Cyprus dominated the copper supply in the eastern Mediterranean.
