In this article we present the fragments of a crucible and a possible tuyère that provide evidence of early copper metallurgy in Scandinavia at least 1500 years earlier than previously thought. The technical ceramics were found in a cultural layer containing Early Neolithic Funnel Beaker pottery dating to around 3800–3500 bc beneath a long barrow dating to 3300–3100 bc. The presence of a copper alloy in the crucible is confirmed by three independent X-ray fluorescence analyses using both a hand-held and a stationary instrument, SEM-EDS analysis of a cross-section, as well as a Bruker Tornado μ-X-Ray-fluorescence scanner (μ-XRF). The transmission of metallurgy to southern Scandinavia coincided with the introduction of long barrows, causewayed enclosures, two-aisled houses, and certain types of artefacts. Thus, metallurgy seems to be part of the new networks that enabled the establishment of a fully Neolithic society.

北欧的第一次冶金：新石器时代早期的坩埚和可能来自丹麦伦特的风口

在这篇文章中，我们展示了一个坩埚碎片和一个可能的风口，它们提供了斯堪的纳维亚半岛早期铜冶金的证据，比以前认为的要早至少 1500 年。技术陶瓷是在包含新石器时代早期漏斗烧杯陶器的文化层中发现的，可追溯到大约 3800-3500 年公元前在可追溯到 3300-3100 年的长手推车下公元前. 通过使用手持式和固定式仪器的三个独立 X 射线荧光分析、横截面的 SEM-EDS 分析以及 Bruker Tornado μ-X- 确认坩埚中存在铜合金射线荧光扫描仪 (μ-XRF)。冶金学向斯堪的纳维亚南部的传播恰逢长手推车、堤道围墙、两通道房屋和某些类型的人工制品的引入。因此，冶金学似乎是能够建立一个完全新石器时代社会的新网络的一部分。
