The Fiery Eyes of a Maenad
In 1837, the Tyrolean State Museum Ferdinandeum in Innsbruck, Austria, purchased a Roman bronze statue of a maenad from the 2nd century ce with red garnets as facetted eye inlays found near Brixen, Southern Tyrol. These garnets were investigated using optical microscopy, a portable hand‐held and a stationary micro‐X‐ray fluorescence device, as well as Raman spectroscopy. The characteristic major and trace elemental compositions of the garnets and…
Zwischen Ton und Tradition. Eine neu entdeckte Siedlung der mittleren und späten Bronzezeit „Am Sonnenhang“ in Langkampfen (Nordtirol, Österreich)
In der Gemeinde Langkampfen im Tiroler Unterland wurde bei archäologischen Ausgrabungen im Jahre 2020 eine bislang unbekannte Siedlung aus der Mittel- und frühen Spätbronzezeit aufgedeckt. Die Befundsituation, vorwiegend aus einer fundreichen Kulturschicht sowie vier mutmaßlichen Feuerstellen bestehend, dürfte den südlichen Randbereich eines ehemals größeren Siedlungsgebietes in der Flur „Am Sonnenhang“ darstellen. An Artefakten wurden gut 30 kg …
Of Fire and Water Microarchaeological Evidence of Mining, Rituals and Floods in North Tyrol's Kropfsberg Mine (Austria)
Kropfsberg, located near Reith im Alpbachtal, in North Tyrol (Austria), has been exploited for its copper ores for centuries, since at least the Early Iron Age. Excavations conducted in 2020 by the University of Innsbruck exposed the detailed stratigraphic sequence of the mine, leading to a surprising discovery: what was initially believed to be only a site for mineral extraction showed clear indications of ritual use during the Roman period and …

Eine Werksiedlung aus der Bronze- und Eisenzeit bei Kundl (Nordtirol). Vorbericht über die Ausgrabungen 2018–2019 in der Schottergrube Wimpissinger
In den Jahren 2018 und 2019 fÃ1⁄4hrte die Grabungsfirma TALPA die bislang gröà te urgeschichtliche Flächengrabung Nordtirols in Kundl (Bezirk Kufstein) durch. Die rund 11.000 m2 groà e Grabungsfläche im Areal der Schottergrube Wimpissinger schlieà t an das in den 1970er Jahren entdeckte eisenzeitliche Gräberfeld der Fritzens- Sanzeno-Kultur an. Bei den neuen Grabungen wurden bronze- und eisenzeitliche Nutzungshorizonte entdeckt, die durch meterdi…

Mineralogical and Petrological Investigations of Early Bronze Age Copper‐smelting Remains From the Kiechlberg (Tyrol, Austria)
The prehistoric settlement on the Kiechlberg hilltop is located a few kilometres to the north‐east of Innsbruck, in the Tyrolean Inn Valley. Despite its rather isolated location, a multiphase settlement between the fifth and the second millennium bc was confirmed by archaeological investigations in 2007 and 2008. Metallurgical artefacts, such as copper ore fragments, copper slag and raw copper, as well as finished copper and bronze artefacts, are…

Late Pre-Hispanic and Early Colonial Silver Production in the Quebrada De Tarapacá, Northern Chile
Drawing on a survey of the Quebrada de Tarapacá in northern Chile and excavations at the Inka and Colonial administrative site of Tarapacá Viejo, we present archaeological evidence of small-scale purification of silver using lead. We argue that the use of techniques to refine silver-bearing ores most likely began in the Late Horizon (AD 1450-1532), when local metallurgists may have processed minerals from the nearby silver mines of Huantajaya as …
