Gerry McDonnell
Archaeometallurgy
I have been professionally involved for thirty years in archaeometallurgy including field-walking, geophysics, excavation, post-excavation analysis and outdoor and laboratory experiment (see About..). This is an opportunity to offer my expertise to a wider community. These pages will benefit archaeological professionals, academics, students and community groups alike.
