Particularly important is recent work on the north Italian site of Frattesina. Other categories of evidence are considered in turn. In the light of these advances, it is possible to imagine a much more interconnected Bronze Age world than was possible 40 years ago.

The latter came about through his studies in the Prehistorický ústav [Institute of Prehistory] under Jan Filip, where so many of the prehistoric archaeologists of the Czech Lands studied in the 1950s; the classical studies through the Ústav pro klasickou archeologii [Institute of Classical Archaeology] under Antonín Salač and Jiří Frel. These studies gave him a wide range of expertise, which he put to good use throughout his academic career. He was also deeply interested in and knowledgeable about philosophy, music, and literature in general. This volume brings together articles, written by his students and colleagues, on some of these topics. In doing so, we complement the arch of the two conference volumes commemorating his 80 th birthday, 'Jan Bouzek and the Czech lands' (published as Studia Hercynia XIX, 2015) and 'ΕΥΔΑΙΜΩΝ. Studies in honour of Jan Bouzek' (2018), reflecting as best as possible the wide scope of Jan's scholarship. Knowing him well as we did, it is interesting to follow how the many topics, collaborations and interests of his emerged, developed and intertwined over the years. This short introductory essay for the volume in his honour therefore targets less his personality and its lasting legacy per se but rather his academic work. 1 We cannot go into detail but try to follow the main themes, which kept Jan busy over a fruitful 85 years, with articles still appearing posthumously. By doing so, we hope to have uncovered a certain structure in his academic development, with topics being gradually added one on top of the other.

ON SALT, COPPER AND GOLD. THE ORIGINS OF EARLY MINING AND METALLURGY IN THE CAUCASUS. Proceedings of the conference held in Tbilisi (Georgia), June 16th-19th 2016 edited by Catherine Marro and Thomas Stöllner, 2021

This conference, which was funded by the Agence nationale de la recherche (France) and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Germany), aimed at discussing the intricate relationships between the emergence of mining and metallurgy, and the shaping of late prehistoric societies in southwestern Asia. The Caucasus is renowned in Near Eastern archaeology for its wealth in natural resources, in particular in metal ores: for decades, scholars have surmised a specific causal relationships between the rise of complex, hierarchical societies in the Near-East and the development of extractive metallurgy. Metallurgy, however, is only the most visible part of the story that accounts for the dramatic changes perceptible in southwestern Asia in the course of the 5th millennium BCE. Early mining, which is not restricted to metal-ore mining, certainly also had an impact in terms of economic networks, social dynamics, settlement patterns and regional integration, not only across the Caucasus, but also in the ancient Near and Middle East. Drawing on these fundamental questions, this book explores the socioeconomic , technological and environmental background that favoured the rise of systematic mining and extractive metallurgy in the Caucasus at the end of the Chalcolithic. How far was early mining linked to the spread of specific subsistence strategies such as pastoral herding? Were mined resources mainly intended for local consumption or distributed throughout the Near East, towards Anatolia, Iran or Mesopotamia? Here are some of the issues that are discussed in the present volume, which contains 21 articles written by some of the most eminent specialists in Caucasian archaeology. Un colloque international axé sur les origines de l' extraction minière et de la métallurgie dans le Caucase s' est déroulé à Tbilisi du 16 au 19 juin 2016, sous les auspices du Musée national de Géorgie. Ce colloque, financé par l' Agence nationale de la recherche (France) et la Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Allemagne), avait pour objectif d'aborder les relations entre la naissance des mines et de la métallurgie, et l' évolution des sociétés protohistoriques en Asie du Sud-Ouest. Le Caucase est connu en archéologie orientale pour sa richesse en matières premières, en particulier pour ses ressources métallifères ; pendant des décennies, les chercheurs ont présupposé l' existence d'un lien de causalité particulier entre l' émergence de sociétés complexes hiérarchisées au Proche et Moyen-Orient et le développement de la métallurgie extractive. Pourtant, la métallurgie n' est que la partie émergée d'une histoire marquée par des changements spectaculaires tout au long du V e millénaire avant notre ère. L' extraction minière, par exemple, qui ne se réduit d' ailleurs pas à l' exploitation des minerais métallifères, a certainement eu aussi un impact sur les dynamiques sociales, les structures de peuplement, l' organisation des réseaux économiques et les processus d'intégration régionale, en Orient comme dans le Caucase. Partant de ces questions fondamentales, cet ouvrage explore le contexte socioéconomique, technologique et environnemental dans lequel se sont développées la métallurgie et l'extraction minière à la fin du Chalcolithique dans le Caucase. Ainsi, dans quelle mesure les premières exploitations minières sont-elles liées à des stratégies de subsistance spécifiques, tel le pastoralisme ? Les ressources exploitées étaient-elles destinées à la seule consommation locale ? Ou bien étaient-elles aussi distribuées à travers le Proche-Orient, l' Anatolie, l'Iran ou la Mésopotamie ? Tels sont les thèmes abordés dans ce volume, qui contient 21 articles rédigés par quelques-uns des plus éminents spécialistes de l'archéologie du Caucase.
