The Bronze Age in France
View through CrossRef
Abstract
This article discusses the French Bronze Age, which lasted for fifteen centuries and featured the technical success and adoption of bronze metallurgy. It first identifies the three main Bronze Age provinces in France, which were the west-facing Atlantic coast, the North Alpine area, and the entire western Mediterranean. The article then studies the Early Bronze Age, which was characterised by a hierarchical society that was different in terms of the social consumption of bronze and funeral practices. The Middle Bronze Age, on the other hand, featured an increase in large-scale production within the metalwork industry, and the invention of the rapier and the sword. Finally, the Late Bronze Age in France marked the formation of a cultural divide and the abundance of metal production and bronze hoarding.
