Project description
This project aims at getting a better understanding of Bronze Age large scale exchange networks in Europe through the study of the production of solid-hilted swords. These objects were largely used all over Europe and were exchanged over long distances. Studying production techniques will enable us locating production centres and proposing models explaining their distribution.
