Technologie und Transfer von Wissen in der prähistorischen Feinschmiedekunst Südwesteuropas

Abstract

This paper deals with questions of transfer of technological knowledge during the Bronze and Iron Ages in Atlantic Europe. Special interest lies on gold work and the origin of fine metal working techniques. Technological features of precious metal objects combined with typological aspects give new insights in crat tradition and innovation, transfer of specialized technical knowledge and exchange between artisans of different cultural origin. Prestige objects made of precious materials provide information on cultural contact, external influences as well as level and exchange of know-how in fine metal working.
