COPPER TRADE AND THE MIDDLE BRONZE AGE OF THE MIDDLE DANUBIAN REGION I

Summary/Abstract: Although the copper sources of both Serbia and Transylvania have lang been known in the literature (ef. Childe 1929; Gaul 1942), most research has tended to stress either the earliest appearance of metallurgy in this area (for example, Jovanovic 1971; Renfrew 1969), or its period of greatest development (Rusu 1963). Relatively little interest has been shown in the metallurgy of that rather amorphous period which is termed "Middle Bronze Age". This is espeeial1y true for the southern part of the Middle Danube region, embracing the Banat, Oltenia, and eastern Serbia. Studies concentrating on chronology and metal typology, such as Popescu (1944) and Hänsel (1968) include this area as a matter of course
