Did you know Bronze Age Cyprus had trade connections all the way to Britain? Tin was imported from south-west England, playing a fundamental role in the transition from copper to full tin-bronze metallurgy across Europe and the Mediterranean.

From Land's End to the Levant: did Britain's tin sources transform the Bronze Age in Europe and the Mediterranean?
Bronze Age–Early Iron Age tin ingots recovered from four Mediterranean shipwrecks off the coasts of Israel and southern France can now be provenanced to tin ores in south-west Britain. These exceptionally rich and accessible ores played a fundamental role in the transition from copper to full tin-bronze metallurgy across Europe and the Mediterranean during the second millennium BC. The authors’ application of a novel combination of three independent analyses (trace element, lead and tin isotopes) to tin ores and artefacts from Western and Central Europe also provides the foundation for future analyses of the pan-continental tin trade in later periods.

So, some background for the start of @lavuelta.bsky.social…and oddly, the best way to do that is by telling you about the geology of Milano-San Remo 😃. The first days will be about the Po Plain and the Ligurian Alps! Enjoy!

Give our new cycling podcast a go (is it still ‘new’ if we’ve done 16 episodes?!)

It’s called Did Not Finish. Or DNF.

And we think it’s a bit different than what’s out there.

For example, we use curse words.

e.g. Fuck

Any feedback would be great!

Tomorrow the Dauphiné finishes at Lac du Mont Cenis. High on Italian/French border the lake is surrounded by high mountains & forts. Here's my old blog post describing 3 paved routes, 4 unpaved routes high above the lake, & some history (Hannibal, etc). www.cycling-challenge.com/lac-du-mont-...
