5 h. ago Cornish tin was sold all over Europe 3,000 years ago, say archaeologists

British team says new study ‘radically transforms’ understanding of bronze age trade networksIn about 1300BC, the major civilisations of the eastern Mediterranean made a cultural and technological leap forward when they began using bronze much more widely for weapons, tools and jewellery.
