Networks and transcultural evidence in late iron age Bisenzio (Capodimonte, VT, Italy, 750–730 BCE)
The community that thrived between the 2nd millennium BCE and the 5th century BCE at Bisenzio, near Capodimonte on Lake Bolsena, i.e. the hinterland of Southern Etruria (today’s Northern Latium), is counted among the most important proto-urban communities of the early phase of the Early Iron Age in the Italian Peninsula (ca. 930/20–800 BCE). Despite this reading, some scholars believe that already during the 8th century BCE, Bisenzio was dependen…
New data about the provenance of the Early Eneolithic copper artefacts from western Lesser Poland
The Early Eneolithic period in Lesser Poland is represented by the Lublin-Volhynian culture and the Wyciąże-Złotniki group. For both of them, the main cultural references were the Middle Copper Age groups from the Carpathian Basin (the Bodrogkeresztúr, the Hunyadihalom-Lažňany, the Balaton-Lasinja cultures, as well as the Ludanice, and the Bajč-Retz-Gajary groups). One of the most important indicators of the Transcarpathian influence was the use …
New evidence for early pig iron production and refining technology on the foothills of the Swabian Mountains, Germany
The investigation is focused on the remains of an iron smelting site in South-West Germany of the 11th to 13th centuries AD. Within the scope of a pilot study, scientific analyses of smelting debris as slag and metallic iron reveal lumps of pig iron, finery slag and early blast furnace calcium-alumina-silicate slag, as well as wrought iron with relicts of cast iron within the microstructure. This new evidence for early indirect process technology…
Raetia resumed. Between iconography and context: An introduction
This paper’s title, “Raetia Resumed,” is largely intended to reflect the fact that earlier research on the Raetian bronze fragments was interrupted and subsequently resumed by a project entitled Römische Großbronzen am Limes – Fragmente im raetischen Raum. Herein, we shall offer a panoramic perspective on several case studies that demonstrate the variety of the contexts and the fragments as well as aspects of their chemical and isotopical composi…
From Cyprus, or to Cyprus? A pilot study with osmium isotopy and siderophile trace elements to reconstruct the origin of corroded iron billets from the Kyrenia shipwreck
Slag characterization from the Roman vicus of Eisenberg (Germany)
The Roman vicus of Eisenberg in Rhineland-Palatinate (Germany) has always been considered to be an important Roman iron smelting centre due to numerous slag finds and relicts of furnaces. Most excavations that revealed iron working debris have been performed in the nineteenth or early twentieth century. Their results and interpretations have been considered to be doubtful, but more recent excavations have brought to light further relics of iron w…

Provenance of Iron Age iron in southern Germany: A new approach
A sword from Vreta Kloster, and black patinated bronze in Early Bronze Age Europe
An Early Bronze Age sword from southern Sweden with inlaid decoration is investigated with regard to its original appearance, and the initial identification of an encrusted organic material within the ornamental decoration is shown scientifically to be wrong. The inlay technology now revealed is known from several Bronze Age objects from Mycenae and Egypt. A few examples from Central Europe link this sword from Sweden technologically with the eas…
The Provenance of Iron Artefacts From Manching: A Multi‐technique Approach
Iron finds from the Celtic oppidum of Manching in southern Bavaria (Germany) are analysed in view of their possible provenance. The exceptional size and the location of Manching are usually attributed to the presence of abundant iron ores in its vicinity. After a review of previous approaches for source determination of iron artefacts, we introduce lead isotope analysis as a new approach. However, only by combining the trace element patterns of s…
Prehistoric Copper Production in the Inn Valley (Austria), and the Earliest Copper in Central Europe
In recent years archaeological finds and scientific analyses have provided increasing evidence for a very early beginning of copper production in the rich mining area of the Tyrolean Alps. The earliest findings derive from an excavation of a multi‐phase settlement on the Mariahilfbergl in Brixlegg, which revealed evidence that a small amount of fahlores, probably of local provenance, was at least heated if not even smelted there in the Late Neoli…
