摘要

这项研究提供了来自el-Ahwat遗址的新分析数据,el-Ahwat是位于以色列中央山区北部边缘的一个短暂的铁器时代定居点。该遗址的大量金属组合,包括铜和青铜泄漏和炉渣,为现场青铜生产提供了直接证据。显微结构特征表明,在现场进行的是铜和锡的初次合金化,而不是废料的再熔化。铅的同位素分析、化学成分和微观结构将一些金属与Faynan矿石联系起来,而其他发现则与Timna矿石联系起来,这表明这两个矿石可能由一个联合矿体控制,为el-Ahwat提供了铜。这些发现挑战了长期以来关于城市低地中心的青铜器加工本地化的假设,并为研究早期铁器时代南部黎凡特的内陆贸易路线和社会组织开辟了新的视角。我们认为el-Ahwat是一个更广泛、更复杂的铜分销和青铜生产网络的一部分,从Arabah延伸到海岸,也包括周边的高地社区。

First evidence of bronze production in the Iron Age I southern Levant: A direct link to the Arabah copper polity.

This study presents new analytical data from the site of el-Ahwat, a short-lived Iron Age I settlement located at the northern edge of the Central Hill Country in Israel. The site's substantial metal assemblage, including copper and bronze spills and slag, provides direct evidence for on-site bronze production. Microstructural features indicate that primary alloying of copper and tin-rather than the re-melting of scrap-was practiced at the site. Lead isotope analysis, chemical composition, and microstructure link some of the metal specifically to the Faynan ores, and other finds to the Timna ores, suggesting that both ores, possibly controlled by a joint polity, supplied copper to el-Ahwat. These findings challenge long-standing assumptions about the localization of bronzeworking in urban lowland centers, and open new perspectives on the inland trade routes and social organization of the early Iron Age southern Levant. We propose that el-Ahwat was part of a broader and more complex network of copper distribution and bronze production, extending from the Arabah to the coast, including also peripheral highland communities.
