Unearthing Europe’s Bronze Age Mining Heritage with Tin Isotopes: A Case Study from Central Europe

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Being exclusively placer-based, evidence of prehistoric tin mining in Europe was erased rapidly in the fluvial environment. Circumstantial evidence has suggested that the tin ores of the Erzgebirge along the German- Czech border were exploited in the Bronze Age. To investigate this further, tin ores from the three Erzgebirge plutons, as well as Cornwall, were isotopically characterized and compared with the Sn isotopic composition of Bronze Age tin-bearing artifacts from the region. After accounting for isotopic fractionation associated with the smelting process, a probabilistic approach indicates that at the transition to the Middle Bronze Age, the predominant mining center was the Central Pluton, but mining activity shifted to the Western Pluton for the remainder of the Bronze Age.
