The contribution of Momenzadeh, et al. introduces briefly the geology and mineral resources together with the traces of ancient mining and ore processing in the area of Takht-e Soleyman. Some archaeological sites were found and documented for the first time during this investigation.
The research of Ketelaer and Hauptmann explores the questions of whether the copper ore from Wadi Amram could have been used for the production of the copper artifacts from the Chalcolithic settlements Tall Hujayrat al-Ghuzlan and Tall al-Magass or if it can be clearly excluded.
In the study of Zeiler, Garner and Golze the Alter Mann Victoria mine and two others in the region were investigated as part of an ongoing, multifaceted project to explore the meaning and importance of the non-ferrous metallurgy in northern Siegerland in the High Middle Ages.
