Abstract
Abstract:This paper examines the possibility that a variant of Irish Killaha-type axeheads, dating to the start of the Bronze Age, has been identified in France. This proposed Ploukilla-type shares morphological characteristics with the classic Irish examples but is different in that the objects are poorly cast and non-functional, suggesting they are axe-ingots. The analysed French objects contain copper consistent with Type A metal from the mine at Ross Island, Co. Kerry. However, they are pure copper, in contrast to the standard Killaha type, which is representative of the first tin bronze in Ireland. The Ploukilla-type objects are concentrated in Brittany. They suggest that copper from Ross Island was traded along the Atlantic seaboard of north-west France, where no direct evidence of contemporary exploitation of copper sources is known.
摘要:本文研究了在法国发现的一种可追溯到青铜时代开始的爱尔兰基拉式斧头的可能性。这个被提出的ploukilla型与经典的爱尔兰例子具有相同的形态特征，但不同的是，这些物体的铸造质量很差，没有功能，表明它们是斧头铸锭。经分析的法国文物中含有的铜与来自克里罗斯岛(Ross Island, Co. Kerry)矿山的A型金属一致。然而，它们是纯铜，而不是标准的基拉哈类型，这是爱尔兰第一个锡青铜的代表。普洛基拉类天体集中在布列塔尼。他们认为，来自罗斯岛的铜是沿着法国西北部的大西洋沿岸进行交易的，而在那里，没有直接的证据表明当时有铜资源被开采。
