Archaeometry and early medieval metal production

27 May 2021
27 May 2021

The event will run on Zoom platform, because of the pandemic

Time: from 14.00 till 18.00

The Workshop is in English 

Description

Early medieval metal artefacts can rely on a well-established tradition of chronologies and repertoire-based studies. In recent decades these data have been complemented by an archaeometric approach, indispensable for expanding, confirming, and implementing hypotheses on the origins, distribution networks and production processes of various types of objects. The chance of this meeting emerges from the research carried out by the University of Trento on some metal alloy materials from the Italian peninsula, dated in between the 8th and 10th centuries. The aim is to stimulate a debate among researchers who share common questions, but also to highlight new research paths for an effective approach to the treatment of various issues raised by the research.
