Evidence of Iron Metallurgy at the Okuje Site - from Findings to Presentation in the Exhibition and More

This contribution briefly discusses the Okuje archaeological site near Zagreb and the investigated traces of metallurgical activity, i.e. early iron production. As part of the TransFER project, Zagreb’s City Museum participated by presenting material from the Okuje site as comparative material to that investigated at the Podravina archaeological sites and by promoting knowledge to its visitors, chiefly by hosting in Zagreb the Koprivnica City Museum’s exhibition ‘Tajne željeza’ (The Secrets of Iron), simultaneously with its own event ‘Okuj(m)e! – Tragovi rane proizvodnje željeza u Zagrebačkom polju’ (Okuj(m)e! – Traces of early iron production around Zagreb).
