A completely normal practice : the emergence of selective metalwork deposition in Denmark, north-west Germany, and the Netherlands between 2350-1500 BC /

In Bronze Age Europe, an enormous amount of metalwork was buried in the ground and never retrieved. Patterns in the archaeological finds show that this was a deliberate practice: people systematically deposited valuable metal objects in specific places in the landscape, even in non-metalliferous reg...
