Abstract

The neodymium (Nd) isotope composition of stone casting moulds found in graves of Bronze Age ‘itinerant smiths’ in western Poland was analysed to determine the provenance of their raw materials. For the first time in archaeological research, the Nd model age (T_DM)—a highly useful parameter in studying the provenance of geological materials—has been applied. Nd data revealed that the material for making casting moulds came from the Sudetes. Additionally, the results of strontium isotope analysis in human remains indicated that the metallurgists were neither born nor spent their early childhood in the areas where they were buried.

追踪波兰西部青铜时代的“流动铁匠”：来自Nd和Sr同位素数据的见解

在波兰西部的青铜时代“流动铁匠”的坟墓中发现的石头铸造模具的钕（Nd）同位素组成进行了分析，以确定其原材料的来源。Nd模式年龄（TDM）在考古研究中首次得到应用，这是研究地质物质物源的重要参数。数据显示，制造铸造模具的材料来自苏台德地区。此外，对人类遗骸的锶同位素分析结果表明，冶金学家既不是在他们被埋葬的地区出生，也不是在他们被埋葬的地区度过童年。

期刊介绍： Archaeometry is an international research journal covering the application of the physical and biological sciences to archaeology, anthropology and art history. Topics covered include dating methods, artifact studies, mathematical methods, remote sensing techniques, conservation science, environmental reconstruction, biological anthropology and archaeological theory. Papers are expected to have a clear archaeological, anthropological or art historical context, be of the highest scientific standards, and to present data of international relevance. The journal is published on behalf of the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art, Oxford University, in association with Gesellschaft für Naturwissenschaftliche Archäologie, ARCHAEOMETRIE, the Society for Archaeological Sciences (SAS), and Associazione Italian di Archeometria.
