Diachronic changes in iron and steel production and cultural transitions in Central Anatolia, 1650-550 BC, in light of a new archaeometallurgical investigation of iron and steel objects at Kaman-Kalehöyük

This doctoral thesis assessed the development of iron and steel technology in Central Anatolia from the Late Bronze through the Early Iron to the Middle Iron Age, ca. 1650-550 BC. By means of multidisciplinary analyses of new assemblage of iron and steel objects excavated at Kaman-Kalehöyük, at le...
