Tracking Bronze Age ‘itinerant smiths’ in western Poland: insights from Nd and Sr isotope data
Archaeometry, EarlyView.Abstract The neodymium (Nd) isotope composition of stone casting moulds found in graves of Bronze Age ‘itinerant smiths’ in western Poland was analysed to determine the provenance of their raw materials. For the first time in archaeological research, the Nd model age (TDM)—a highly useful parameter in studying the provenance of geological materials—has
