Chemical and metallographic investigation of weapons from the Bronze Age necropolis at Olmo di Nogara, Italy
No full textThe present investigation aims to characterise the bronze weapons found in the graves of the Olmo di Nogara necropolis (Verona, Italy) to understand the materials, the metallurgical production techniques and their development during the use of the site. Olmo is an important biritualistic necropolis. The large number of excavated graves provide copious and rich equipments ranging in time from Aeneolithic to Recent Bronze Age (RBA).
Small samples for archaeometrical characterization were collected from different points of several typologically defined and well dated weapons: a dagger, ten swords, and two halberds were selected. Each sample was analysed by SEM-EDS in order to obtain point and area chemical analyses, and backscattered electron images, and by reflected-light metallographic analysis. The two Aeneolithic halberds are composed of arsenic bronze alloy with about 5-6 wt % of As. The Middle Bronze Age (MBA) and RBA materials are rather homogeneous tin bronzes, with a variable amount of tin in the range 9-15 wt %. Inclusions of residual copper and copper-iron sulphides were detected, often showing a preferential orientation due to the mechanical working processes. The metallographic analyses show that the α-phase is prevalent in the metal, with the presence of strongly oriented crystallites of the intermetallic γ-phase. Clear evidence of advanced manufacturing techniques, including cycles of thermal annealing and hammering is observed in all samples. Specific textural and compositional features of the finds are discussed, and they indicate a remarkable mastering of different metallurgical processes in the production of the different parts of the weapons
Circolazione e uso dell’avorio come materia prima per la realizzazione di manufatti in materia dura animale: il caso di Lovara di Villa Bartolomea (VR).
No full textLe attuali conoscenze sulla circolazione e l’impiego dell’avorio come materia prima durante l’età del Bronzo in Italia, sono ancora molto scarse. Il caso isolato di Frattesina (RO) ha rappresentato fino ad oggi l’unica evidenza nel territorio italiano per quanto riguarda la lavorazione locale di questa materia prima durante il Bronzo Finale. Il difficile riconoscimento di questo materiale, in assenza di adeguate analisi e strumentazioni, costituisce la principale causa della scarsa conoscenza sulla reale diffusione ed utilizzo dell’avorio nel corso dell’età del Bronzo in Italia.
Una recente analisi, svolta sui manufatti in materia dura animale provenienti dal sito del Bronzo Recente di Lovara di Villa Bartolomea (VR), esposti presso il Centro Ambientale Archeologico di Legnago (VR), ha permesso il riconoscimento di un manufatto in avorio, che rappresenta una testimonianza molto importante per quanto riguarda la circolazione e l’uso di questo materiale nel territorio italiano. In questo lavoro verranno presentati i risultati ottenuti dalle analisi tracceologica e funzionale svolte sul manufatto, che hanno permesso di individuare alcuni passaggi della catena operativa

No full textSUMMARY - The Early Bronze Age settlement of Canàr (Castelnovo Bariano, Rovigo) - Since the first discoveries, the
site of Canàr has attracted a great interest due to presence of pottery that provides significant data to establish relations with the
middle course of Danube, in particular with the Wieselburg-Gata culture. This aspect has contributed to highlight a sort of eccentricity
of Canàr compared to Polada culture (the Early Bronze Age culture in the Sub-alpine region and in the Central and
Eastern Po Valley). It must be emphasized that many aspects of Polada culture are present in the Canàr settlement. After the start
of the excavations the importance of the site has increased for the discovery of a pile-dwelling and the possibility to carry out
dendrochronological dating. The phase I, characterized by pile-dwelling structures, is related to an advanced stage of the Early
Bronze Age I (EBA I C), whereas the phase II is dating to the final period of the EBA (EBA II). During phase II the cultural aspects
of late Polada type have increased considerably. A small number of carinated cups with axe shaped handle and bowls with
sharp carination and bobbin type lugs may indicate that the end of the settlement took place at the very beginning of the MBA
