Summary:

"Making a study of East Germanic iron smelting in the Roman Period, this open access book gives an in-depth account of the development of metallurgy in Przeworsk culture. Its three main ironmaking centres - the Holy Cross Mountains, Masovia and Silesia - were among the largest iron production regions beyond the borders of the Roman Empire, producing grave furnishings, weaponry and other commodities. Despite more than 60 years of research and scholarship on Przeworsk metallurgy, this is the first book to carry out artefact provenance analyses using the most up-to-date archaeological methods"-- Provided by publisher.
