Abstract
Analytical implications for Beaker metallurgy in North-west Europe
Stuart P Needham
99 - 133
reassesses the occurrence of 'Bell-Beaker' metal in north-western Europe and reviews other definable composition types of the Copper and earliest Bronze Ages. Although relatively homogeneous, the BB-metal spectrum comprises at least two overlapping composition variants. Potential source areas within the study area and in northern Spain are reviewed, but firm conclusions await critical lead-isotope analyses. Copper metallurgy seems to have operated within relatively closed, yet geographically overlapping, spheres of metal circulation, while some mixing of composition types is demonstrated for Brithdir bronze metalwork. Production was tied closely to particular distribution networks, even when remote from sources and regardless of the extent of recycling. Subtle differences in composition between southern and northern zones are reinforced by distinct biases in distribution of artefacts.
Ancient prospection for metals and modern prospection for ancient mines -- the evidence for Bronze Age mining within the British Isles
Simon Timberlake
328 - 357
reviews new evidence that has emerged over the past fifteen years for the sources of metal ores and the nature of mining in Bronze Age Britain, which suggests that Britain and Ireland were self-sufficient in, and perhaps important producers of, copper and tin around 1800 BC. Fieldwork has revealed 20-25 mining sites, of which ten have been excavated and dated to the Early Bronze Age. Geochemical and palaeo-environmental sampling techniques have proved successful in this search for early mines and have potential for the identification of smelting sites, which are still elusive.
