Europe before the EU, trade at the end of prehistory. Long before the Gauls, the organization of object production was already well established at the heart of a complex trade network. This book highlights the circulation of bronze tools around 1500 BC between the shores of the English Channel and the Alps. Raw materials and manufacturing methods circulated widely.
The study reported here examines precisely how tools considered to be imports from Normandy ended up on the site of an Alpine mine that was not the source of their manufacture. The mystery remains.
