EACoM is a Belgian Federal Science Policy funded project involving the Royal Museums for Art and History (RMAH), the Royal Museum for central Africa (RMCA), the Katholieke universiteit Leuven (KUL) and the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB). Through a pluridisciplinary approach, it aims at studying and recontextualizing artefacts related to copper metallurgy in the Egyptian collections of the RMAH and the archaeological and anthropological collections of the RMCA with a shared analytical framework, focusing on the manufacturing processes. The final goal is to valorize the technical aspects of diverse dormant collections.
