Tempe Arts and Sciences Salon
Treasured Copper
Dr. Kostalena Michelaki, Associate Professor from the School of Human Evolution and Social Change at ASU, explores the use and meaning of 16th century European copper among Native Iroquoian communities. European copper, mostly in the form of kettles, was introduced to NE North America by European fishermen and quickly replaced the use of native copper. Dr. Michelaki provides an ethnohistoric and archaeological journey into how and why this happened and what it can tell us about 16th century Native communities.
