This book, a collection of articles by archaeologists and enthnographers from the USA, Africa, and Europe, explores the development of the iron working processes, the reasons for local variation, the role of iron workers in ancient and modern societies, and the way in which iron production changed society.Haaland, Randi is the author of 'African Iron Working: Ancient and Traditional', published 1986 under ISBN 9788200072928 and ISBN 8200072924.
