This work examines technological, cognitive and symbolic aspects of metallurgy in the Nordic region from the Late Neolithic to the Bronze Age, with a focus on southern Norway. Offering new metal analyses on Norwegian bronzes and reinterpretations of existing analyses, and placing finds in a theoretical context, the author considers the relationship between technology and society, and the divide between approaches focussing on ideas/discursive knowledge and approaches focussing on action/embodied know-how. Bridging the two, the work offers not only evidence to support the presence of Bronze Age mining in the region, but new perspectives on the roles of metal and metalworking in the culture of the period.
