Abstract

Metalurgija nije bila iznenadno otkriće i za njezin razvoj potreban je cijeli paket novih tehnologija. Kroz diplomski rad prikazana je evolucija metalurških djelatnosti i rudarstva bakra i bakrenih ruda. Glavni fokus rada je prostor jugoistočne Europe i vučedolska kultura. Istražene su dosadašnje spoznaje i hipoteze o bakreno – prerađivačkoj djelatnosti unutar vučedolske kulture i njena uloga u razvoju metalurške tehnologije. U širem kontekstu, istražen je njen utjecaj na oblikovanje bakrenog i uzdizanje brončanog doba. Izrađena je karta svih poznatih vučedolskih lokaliteta i karta dostupnih te potencijalnih izvora bakra. Na osnovu tih karata rekonstruirani su smjerovi širenja i kretanja kulture, komunikacijski i trgovački putevi. Svrha rada je utvrditi opskrbno prerađivačku mrežu kojom cirkulira bakrena sirovina te istražiti kako su izvori bakra utjecali na oblikovanje te mreže.

Abstract (english)

Metallurgy wasn't a sudden discovery and its development required a whole package of new technologies. In this thesis, the evolution of metallurgical activities and mining of copper and its ores is presented. The main focus of thesis is the area of Southeast Europe and Vučedol culture. The knowledge and hypotheses about the processing copper within the Vučedol culture and its role in the development of metallurgical technology are investigated. In a broader context, its influence on the formation of the Copper Age and the rise of the Bronze Age has been investigated. A map of all known Vučedol sites and a map of available and potential copper sources were made. Based on these maps, the culture's spreading directions, communication and trade routes were reconstructed. The purpose of this paper is to find the supply and processing network through which copper's raw material circulates and to investigate how copper sources influenced the design of this network.
