Abstract

Knowledge of manufacturing technology of items from various raw materials not only allows for a better understanding of the spheres of human culture associated with their production but also provides a basis for further conclusions on the functioning of prehistoric communities. Copper-alloy objects might be examined using a wide range of archaeometallurgical methods. In this paper, we would like to focus on the manufacturing technology of banded pseudo-spiral bracelets, using an archaeological experiment, macro- and microscopic analyses of traces on copper-alloy items and computed tomography of artefacts from the Lubnowy Wielkie hoard, dated to the Late Bronze Age, Montelius’ V period, as well as their reconstructions made during the experiment.

Keywords:

Late Bronze and Early Iron Age, archaeological experiment, computed tomography (CT), use-wear analysis
