yes, Edom. One of Those Topics.

The central element at the heart of the research is the metal copper. Scientists are using advanced techniques to reveal that an advanced culture had been mining and making copper in the era long before the region was thought to have human activity.

“With advanced techniques of chemical analysis, and archaeological analysis and microscopic investigation we were able to understand how people were making copper and to find out if it was organized by one central body of people.

...something big was going on quite early, at least as early as the 11th century BCE,” ....

The researchers say that the copper production seems to have been occurring just when the Bible says that the kingdom of Edom was in existence.
