Goodway, M. (1991) Archaeometallurgy: evidence of a paradigm shift? In (P. B. Vandiver, J. Druzik & G. S. Wheeler, eds.) Material Issues in Art and Archaeology II. Pittsburgh: Materials Research Society, pp. 705-712.

in this paper, Martha cites Beno Rothenberg as the source of the term when he created the "Institute of Archeo-Metallurgical Studies" at UCL.  Someone could contact Beno and see if he remembers where the term came from...

Martha Goodway did some research into this and came up with Beno as the source.  I don't have her contact info here but she is still working at the Smithsonian MCI.
