Proceedings of the XVII UISPP World Congress (1–7 September 2014, Burgos, Spain). Volume 12/Session B34. — Oxford: Archaeopress, 2016. — 103 p. — ISBN: 978-1-78491-423-3.The XVIIth world congress of 2014, in Burgos, with the strong support of Fundación Atapuerca and other institutions, involved over 1700 papers from almost 60 countries of all continents. The proceedings, edited in this series but also as special issues of specialized scientific journals, will remain as the most important outcome of the congress.
The paper collected in this book corresponds to the lectures held during session B34 of UISPP conference in Burgos (June 2014) where the presentation of multidisciplinary works were encouraged. The main goal of bringing together specialists from various disciplines (humanities and natural sciences) was to debate by different perspectives the networks in raw materials and technological innovation in Prehistory and Protohistory, involving investigation topics typical of archaeometry: archeometallurgy, petrography, and mineralogy.Foreword to the XVII UISPP Congress Proceedings Series Edition (Luiz Oosterbeek).
