    A BRONZE BROOCH CASTING MOULD IN EASTERN BOHEMIA FROM THE PERIOD OF THE MARCOMANNIC WARS
    (Romisch-germanisches zentralmuseum, 2020) Vich, David; Kmošek, Jiří
    A half of a mould made from an alloy of copper, tin, zinc and a considerable percentage of lead intended for the production of brooches of Type Almgren 132 was discovered at a Germanic settlement in the cadastral area of Koci, Eastern Bohemia, dated by other finds to the period of the Marcomannic Wars. Finds of production waste indicate that non-ferrous metals were worked there some time around the Marcomannic Wars. Brooches of Type Almgren 132 have been very rarely documented from the territory of Bohemia and Moravia. J. Tejral points out the specific situation in the Central Danube region after Commodus had made peace with the Germans, as we encounter an intensive inflow of Roman imports into the East Germanic milieu while products of East Germanic origin also appear there. J. Tejral explains this situation in the rise of specific conditions for mutual cultural exchange, in which the hinterland of Noricum and Pannonia held an extraordinary position. The territorial impact of these manifestations was probably much greater than it has seemed so far, however.

    Tracking Alpine copper-analysis of Late Bronze Age copper ingot hoard from South Bohemia
    (Springer, 2020) Kmošek, Jiří; Erban Kochergina, Yulia V; Chvojka, Ondrej; Fikrle, Marek
    We present the results of a complex archaeometric study of Late Bronze Age copper ingots from the Stare Hodejovice hoard (South Bohemia). In order to understand the origin of the copper and describe the metallurgical process, we use modern analytical methods (metallography analyses, major/trace element and lead isotope analyses) to describe the samples. Within this study, a representative dataset of trace element composition and lead isotope ratios of non-alloyed and non-recycled corpus of copper ingots from the Late Bronze Age was created. We assume that most of the ingots were not altered by alloying, mixing or recycling. Based on lead isotope ratios and major/trace element composition, we suppose that the origin of the copper could be mostly Alpine ores from the Trentino and Mitterberg regions and possibly the Valais region. By this study, it was proved that copper smelted by a matte smelting process was transported in the form of flat or plano-convex ingots from multiple sources to South Bohemia, where it was subsequently refined and alloyed. Obtained analytical results refute the idea of prevailing copper recycling in the Late Bronze Age.

    Depot doby bronzové ze Lhoty u Chroustovic na Chrudimsku
    (2019) Vích, David; Kmošek, Jiří
    V k. ú. Lhota u Chroustovic (Pardubický kraj, Česká republika) byl s pomocí detektoru kovů nalezen bronzový depot. Nález bylo možné částečně zdokumentovat in situ, depot ale z větší části narušila hluboká orba. Čtyři srpy, tulejovitá sekera a kus měděného ingotu datují hromadný nález do HA2 či spíše HB1.

    Invisible connections. Early Dynastic and Old Kingdom Egyptian metalwork in the Egyptian Museum of Leipzig University
    (2018) Kmošek, Jiří; Odler, Martin; Fikrle, Marek; Kochergina, Yulia, V
    An assemblage of ancient Egyptian metalwork from the Early Dynastic and Old Kingdom periods, currently in the Egyptian Museum of Leipzig University (Germany), has been studied using a wide range of available archaeometallurgical methods. The 3rd millennium BC Egyptian copper metallurgy is known only superficially until now. The data are interpreted in the framework of the known and reconstructed distribution networks of ancient Egyptian society. The production technology of the objects has been examined. The lead isotope analyses have made it possible to discuss the origin of the ore used for the production of Old Kingdom metalwork for the first time. A rather surprising presence in the Early Dynastic assemblage of object similar in isotopic ratios to Anatolian Early Bronze Age metalwork is discussed.
