From Scandinavia to the Levant
A growing body of evidence suggests that Nuragic Sardinia played a role, as yet poorly understood, in the metal trade between Scandinavia, Atlantic Europe, and the Mediterranean during the Bronze Age. Provenance studies based on lead isotope and chemical analyses of copper‐based – and to a minor extent lead – artefacts from both continental Europe and the Mediterranean indicate that metals of Sardinian origin were exported and used in different a…
An Early Neolithic copper axehead
The aim of this paper is to provide an in-depth study, including both invasive and non-invasive chemical analyses, and lead isotope analysis, of one of the northernmost Early Neolithic copper flat axeheads in Europe, the Öja axehead from west Sweden. In addition, we present an updated catalogue of the early copper axeheads found in Sweden. Our analyses suggest that the copper used to manufacture the Öja axehead originates from eastern Serbian ore…
Iron age metal trade between the Atlantic and the Baltic Sea
The Biad Standards
This article presents a series of recommendations for the publication of archaeological data, to improve their usability. These 12 recommendations were formulated by archaeological data experts who mined thousands of publications for different data types (including funerary practices, accelerator mass spectrometry dating, stable isotopes, zooarchaeology, archaeobotany and pathologies) during the initial construction of the Big Interdisciplinary A…
Investigating sheep mobility at Montale, Italy, through strontium isotope analyses
In recent years, extensive archaeological studies have provided us with new knowledge on wool and woollen textile production at the Terramare site of Montale, in the Po plain, northern Italy. The large number of textile tools, and of zooarchaeological evidence suggesting intense sheepherding, hints at Montale being a specialized centre of wool production during the local Middle and Recent Bronze Age. The aim of our study has been to investigate, …

Cyprus and Sardinia in the Late Bronze Age
In the course of the Swedish excavations at Hala Sultan Tekke, Cyprus, table ware and domestic pottery of unknown provenance were discovered in offering pits dating to the 13th century BCE. These vessels comprise six hand-made and black burnished vessels, all of which have close typological parallels in the Nuragic culture of Sardinia. Comparative petrographic investigation confirmed their Sardinian provenance. Other archaeometric analyses includ…
Modelling Bronze Age sheepherding and wool production
Arguing for an integrated wool-textile economy in the Bronze Age, this paper assesses characteristics and scale of pastoral economy and sheepherding at the Terramare settlement of Montale (Modena province, Italy). Previous studies argued that Montale was a Bronze Age centre of wool production. The present work enhances the understanding of the local textile economy by investigating the evidence for sheepherding and landscape management at the sit…
Wool Economy During the European Bronze Age
A number of studies over the last decades have considerably increased our knowledge about production and trade of woollen textiles during the Bronze Age in the Near East, the Aegean, and continental Europe. In the wider Mediterranean area, thanks to the abundance of available evidence, it has been possible to use the concept of wool economy as a frame of reference to define the complex mechanisms behind production and trade of wool. The main aim …
Approaching sheep herds origins and the emergence of the wool economy in continental Europe during the Bronze Age
Bronze Age Textile & Wool Economy
At the onset of the 2nd millennium bc , a wool economy emerged across continental Europe. Archaeological, iconographical, and written sources from the Near East and the Aegean show that a Bronze Age wool economy involved considerable specialised labour and large scale animal husbandry. Resting only on archaeological evidence, detailed knowledge of wool economies in Bronze Age Europe has been limited, but recent investigations at the Terramare sit…
Nordic-Mediterranean relations in the second millennium BC
When we started planning this session proposal it was our intention to provide a forum in which to discuss new results and perspectives on the very old question of long-distance connections and exchange throughout Europe and the Mediterranean. Participants were asked to first consider provenance analysis of both raw materials and manufactured goods as a means to shed light on mobility and connectivity between Bronze Age societies. Secondly, they …
Textile tools from the East Gate at Mycenaean Midea, Argolis, Greece
This contribution presents in the first place an analysis and interpretation of all implements and tools possibly related to textile production that were recovered in the East Gate area at Midea during the Greek-Swedish excavation campaigns between 2000 and 2009. Secondly, with the help of comparative evidence from other zones on the citadel of Midea and also from other Mycenaean sites, it is argued that at least one multifunctional unit, where t…
Late B ronze Age Oxhide and oxhide‐like ingots from areas other than the Mediterranean
Oxhide ingots are probably one of the most remarkable metal artefacts that ever circulated throughout the Mediterranean during the second millennium BC . From the Levantine coast to S ardinia, oxhide ingots were produced, exchanged, used and transformed for almost six centuries (c.1600–1100/1000 BC ). They are generally regarded as a class of material that is found only in the Mediterranean area. However, there are a number of oxhide ingots that …
