DESCRIPTION:Timna Valley\, one of the best preserved ancient copper ore di
 stricts in the world\, contains dozens of mining and smelting sites that r
 epresent more than six millennia of copper exploitation. In recent years a
 nd as part of Tel Aviv University's Central Timna Valley Project\, we have
  conducted surveys\, excavations and analytical studies in order to better
  understand technological developments and associated social processes in 
 the region. In this presentation we will focus on the early Iron Age (~120
 0-800 BCE) - a period of intense copper production at the time when the lo
 cal biblical kingdoms of Edom and ancient Israel emerged - with emphasis o
 n smelting practices and other technological achievements. More on the pro
