Article Synopsis
- This study uncovers new data about el-Ahwat, a brief Iron Age I settlement in Israel known for its significant metal production evidence.
- The presence of copper and bronze spills as well as slag suggests that el-Ahwat engaged in the primary alloying of copper and tin, rather than just recycling scrap metal.
- Isotope analysis links some of the metal to specific ore sources, indicating a complex network of trade and production that challenges previous theories about bronze working being localized in urban centers.
