Detrital Glass Provides Evidence of Leaded-Bronze Refinement at Ancient Placer Tin Mining Sites in Serbia
Archaeological evidence for prehistoric placer tin mining is rare due to the ephemeral nature of the workings and the associated tools in the dynamic setting of active river systems. Here, we report an additional line of evidence for metallurgical activities at stream tin mining in Serbia at Mt. Cer and Bukulja. Rivers at these locations contain Pb-rich-glass grains, many of which are also enriched in Cu and Sn. Compositionally, the detrital grai…
Iron Age and Roman metallurgical activities at the Spasovine placer tin deposit, West Serbia
From peaks to ports: Insights into tin provenance, production, and distribution from adapted applications of lead isotopic analysis of the Uluburun tin ingots
Provenance of tin in the Late Bronze Age Balkans based on probabilistic and spatial analysis of Sn isotopes
Digging deeper: Insights into metallurgical transitions in European prehistory through copper isotopes
Tin isotope characterization of bronze artifacts of the central Balkans
Placer Tin Ores from Mt. Cer, West Serbia, and Their Potential Exploitation during the Bronze Age
Tin is a rare metal that is essential for making bronze, the defining technology of the Bronze Age. The source(s) of tin for Aegean bronze is undetermined but several small Bronze Age tin mines have been documented in the circum‐Aegean region. The discovery of Bronze Age archaeological sites in West Serbia near a tin placer deposit on the flanks of Mt. Cer led to an investigation of this site as a potential additional Bronze Age tin mine in the r…
The Archaeology of Slavery at the Van Cortlandt Plantation in the Bronx, New York
Handmade Burnished Ware and the Late Bronze Age of the Balkans
Handmade Burnished Ware from late Mycenaean contexts has been interpreted variously as a unified ceramic assemblage, a conflation of different indigenous coarse-ware traditions, evidence for intrusive ethnic elements in the Mycenaean world, a symptom of the economic and systemic decline of the palace elite, and the re-emergence of the Aegean peasant substrata as the destructions of the Late Bronze Age took their toll. The authors propose that it …
The Later Aeneolithic in Southeastern Europe
Changes in the European economy and society during the later Aeneolithic (late fourth to third millennia B. C.) were fundamental in determining the trajectory of cultural change in Europe for at least the next 1500 to 2000 years. Recent research has shown that this period, rather than being a short transition between the "Neolithic" and the "Bronze Age," begins earlier and lasts longer than has been traditionally thought. Thus, the sociocultural,…
The Morava Valley Project in Yugoslavia: Preliminary Report, 1977–1980
Results of a season of site survey in the Lower Morava Valley, Yugoslavia, followed by a season of excavation of one of the large, open-field Bronze/Iron Age sites of the region, have shed new light on the later prehistory of this corridor between the Aegean and European worlds. Materials recovered range from the later Eneolithic through Medieval periods
