Experiencing Visible and Invisible Metal Casting Techniques in Bronze Age Italy

What we know about Bronze Age metalworking in Italy basically relies on finished artefacts and on stone, clay or bronze implements involved in the process of manufacturing (tuyères, crucibles, moulds, hammers, chisels, et cetera; Bianchi, 2010; Bianchi, in press). Moreover, evidences of structures f...
