Bland brons och järn - spåren av metallhantverk från Bornholms yngre järnålder.


This essay is about Late Iron Age settlement and its production. I want to define the nature ofthree different workplaces on Bornholm, Denmark, and compare them. My aim is to see if itis possible to define a workplace through the traces of the craftsmanship. Several materials areselected in this essay and the analysis provides different perspective on workplaces in the LateIron Age in Scandinavia. The results of the analysis between the three workplacesAgerbygård, Baggård and Kanonhøj shows that Baggård have more traces of melting of bronsthan any other of the places. But Kanonhøj also have a lot of these activities, and Agerbygårdhave had more to do with merchandizing, some extraction of iron and metal work. Kanonøj isapart of a big complex called Sorte Muld, black earth; witch indicates both a heavy activity onthe complex and contacts with merchants. Some trading and many different metal works tookplace in the Kanonhøj settlement.
