The text is easy and pleasantly written with a surprisingly wide multidisciplinary background of knowledge and modern analytical techniques. The book is superbly produced, with high-quality illustrations, some in colour, and has an enormous amount of data over the broad spectrum of geology-mineralogy-metallurgy-archeology. It is very stimulating reading beyond the usual feed of economic geologists, and recalls the deep roots of our business." (Bernd Lehmann, Economic Geology, Vol. 103 (2), 2008) Aus den Resensionen: Das Buch ... mit dem anspruchsvollen Titel ... knnte den Eindruck erwecken, die immer wieder diskutierten Fragen des Wann und Wie seien nun eindeutig und endgltig beantwortet. Der Autor, ein erfahrener Mineraloge, ist viel ... sachkundig, ... Seine Publikation ist vielmehr ein wichtiger Beitrag zum Allgemeinthema Frhes Kupfer. ... Die Gliederung des Buchinhalts folgt einer logischen Sequenz. ... Er hat aus der flle der analytischen und verfahrenstechnischen Details und Erkenntnisse bleibende kulturgeschichtliche Folgerungen gezogen, die fr Archologen ... gleichermaen informativ und wegweisend sind, wie fr Archometallurgen. (Prof. Dr. Hans-Gert Bachmann, in: Der Anschnitt, 2009, Vol. 61, Issue 4, S. 284 ff.)
