Prehistoric Mining and Metallurgy at the Southeast Bulgarian Black Sea Coast
RessourcenKulturen Band 12
von Raiko Krauss, Ernst Pernicka, René Kunze, Kalin Dimitrov und Peter LeshtakovThis volume presents the results of research on pre-industrial mining in the region
along the south-eastern Bulgarian Black Sea coast. During rescue excavations some
prehistoric settlements with traces of early copper processing were uncovered. This
initiated a thorough investigation of the copper ore deposits of Burgas, Rosen and
Medni Rid that were mined until recently. Their archaeometallurgical investigation
was a project of the Tübingen SFB 1070 ResourceCultures. The research results include
an overview of the archaeological research along the southern Bulgarian coastal zone
of the Black Sea and the now flooded sites in its shore area. The timeframe ranges
from the earliest use of metals in the 5th millennium BC to the period of the ‘Greek
Colonisation’ and later.
