Super exciting!
The next episode of #DiggingForBritain is tonight and features Antiquity authors Benjamin W. Roberts & R. Alan Williams on their excavations of the Bronze Age tin trade at St. Michael's Mount!
Can't wait? They wrote on their findings in an #AntiquityBlog 🏺 www.cambridge.org/core/blog/20...

Excavating the British tin trade that shaped the Bronze Age
In 2025, we published an article in Antiquity, demonstrating through chemical and isotopic analyses that, c. 1300 BC, tin ingots made from tin ores in southwest Britain are found on shipwrecks off…

Interview with my dear colleague Daniel Berger about our latest #article on metal #provenance studies of Sardinian #Bronzeage figurines. 🧪🏺
New archaeological analysis of the bronzetti figurines of Sardinia has changed the picture of copper in the Bronze Age: The Nuragic people who lived on the island may have traded the metal as far as Scandinavia.

My colleagues, Anna Tornberg and Kristian Brink, invited me to #Lund to see a #Bronzeage belt plate. They didn't just ask me to come and look at it. My specialty is not looking at #things, but imagining how they were #crafted while spending hours examining them. And this we did! 🧪🏺

Excavating the British tin trade that shaped the Bronze Age
Benjamin W. Roberts and R. Alan Williams discuss their archaeological investigations at St Michael's Mount, Cornwall, long thought to have been Ictis, the tin trading island described by Pytheas the Greek in c. 320 BC in the earliest written account of Britain.

Before the #Viksø #helmets can #gopublic, there is one issue that needs to be resolved. I have been working on describing the #crafting of the helmets when I noticed something new that I had not paid attention to before. #bronzeage

It is very good for research when pictures taken during investigations for scientific reasons are seen as special. 🧪
While trying to understand how 3,500-year-old jewellery was made, a beautiful picture came to life. #archaeology #bronzeage #art #moesgaard

👀What may appear to be an abstract painting is actually a microscopic view of a bronze surface, which provides valuable insights into the craftsmanship, technology, and society of the Bronze Age.
