Makes you think

>A recent study (2013) of 71 ancient Swedish bronze objects dated to Nordic Bronze Age, revealed that most of copper utilized at that time in Scandinavia came from Sardinia and the Iberian peninsula.

seems pretty reasonable that the most valuable copper must have come from trade.

But the fact that they could acquire these items through trade also indicates that they must have been good at other things, likely hunting for pelts or collecting amber.

>>2874024
Yeah, it makes me think you're fucking wrong.

>>2874030
I wonder whom they got it from, Celts?

We know they already built ships from their stone reliefs, but I doubt they went all they way down to the Mediterranean.

>>2874033
Wow, what an insightful post, I'm wrong about what?

>>2874035
They would likely have been excellent seamen, seeing as Denmark is practically an archipelago, so it's not unreasonable.

But the most common theories around here is that they maintained trade relations with southern Germanic tribes.

Pic related, it's interesting that such large quantities of copper already circulated so far back in time

>>2874048
very interesting. I wish I knew more about the trade networks of pre-recorded history.

Goat horns produce such ugly noise. Be great for battlefields though because it's hard to mistake that sound

Those big horns on the other hand are great. Imagine a good grouping of them

The amber trade is a big one to look into if you already haven't

>>2874048
Crazy to see how much copper came from Iberia

Your map is inaccurate

Long distance trade isn't special, dummy. The tin found in many Aegean objects and that was used for bronze, for the Minoans and Mycenaean, is believed to come from a particular region in Afghanistan.

>>2874717
Yes, but Minoan and Myceneans were advanced societies and so were Near Easterners.

Western Europeans at the time were ooga booga spear chuckers
