Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - Seeking references on the history of blacksmithing

I know this is kind of off-topic, but I'm helping my nephew with a school project on blacksmithing and he's having trouble finding published information on the early history of blacksmithing. I figured if anybody would have pointers it would be the folks here. Information is plentiful on colonial blacksmithing, but I'm hunting for some information on "ancient" blacksmithing in Africa, Syria, India, etc. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
