Résumé: This book examines the various ways that prehistoric metallurgy can be interpreted, and major issues in its development resolved. Archaeologists have long argued that a European identity emerged in the Bronze Age and that this was bound up with the emergence of metalworking. The study of these early craft workers and their products is exemplified by case studies. These include the earliest metalwork in northern Italy, copper resources and prehistoric mining (including discussion of the author’s collaborative work at Monte Loreto and Libiola in Liguria), smelting in Copper Age and later Bronze Age Trentino, arsenical bronzes, early Bronze Age flanged axes, standardisation in the Bronze Age, Peschiera metalwork and the final Bronze Age metalwork of Frattesina.
