Copper isotopes as a means of determining regional metallurgical practices in European prehistory: A reply to Jansen
(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, London, 2018)
We present a detailed response to the critique by Mr. Jansen of the paper "Digging Deeper: Insights into Metallurgical Transitions in European Prehistory through Copper Isotopes". When we consider Cu isotope ratios of ...
Tin isotope characterization of bronze artifacts of the central Balkans
(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, London, 2016)
Isotopic analysis has proved to be an effective approach to determine the provenance of copper ore sources for the production of bronze artifacts. More recently, methods for Sn isotopic analysis of bronze have been developed. ...
Digging deeper: Insights into metallurgical transitions in European prehistory through copper isotopes
(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, London, 2017)
Southeastern Europe is the birthplace of metallurgy, with evidence of copper smelting at ca. 5000 BCE. There the later Eneolithic (Copper Age) was associated with the casting of massive copper tools. However, copper ...
