Well, the oldest is in Serbia - no questions asked. Shortly followed by Northern Mesopotamia. Also, did you see the post of mine Angela deleted?
Humm, partly so.
a. yes Vinca is reference at 5500 BC but not sure how good the carbon dating is. - Not saying is wrong. But would like to read something about the carbon dating used.
b. In Shulaveri (Aratashen part in Armenia) the copper and crucibles found is always referred as fists half of 6th Millenium, so don't really know what exact date.
c. In Shulaveri places such as Khramis Didi gora, we have the smelting of arsenical copper and the production of copper awls is a fact. Carbon dating of those settlements do not go much further than 5500 BC (those were places that ended earlier, just like the ones referenced in Armenia).
d . Its reference by me in my Shulaverian Hypothesis paper (https://shulaveri2bellbeaker.blogs.sapo.pt/) that the Copper awl found in tell tsaf (Israel 4600BC) is in fact from Aruclho (one of the longest shulaveri settlements that ended by 5400 BC).
e. One last note. the oldest copper found in North Caucasus is at the Pr**icked pearl culture (5th Millenium BC), which is assumed to be of south caucasus origin. Any guess form what culture?
