This virtual Flash Talk highlights Professor Natalie Abell’s latest field season on the Cycladic island of Kea, Greece. Building on excavations from the 1960s and 1970s, Dr. Abell’s research investigates metalworking traditions at Kephala, an important Final Neolithic site, and Ayia Irini, a settlement featuring a multi-phase shrine active from the Bronze Age until at least the Classical period. Her team is analyzing metal artifacts, metallurgical debris, and associated pottery to shed light on nearly two millennia of copper, silver, and lead working in domestic contexts. This talk explores how lives and economies in northwestern Kea were shaped by metallurgy and connected to wider developments across the ancient Aegean.
