Life and Work at the Bronze Age Mine of Prigglitz

The overall aim is to investigate the social organisation and the operation of a Bronze Age copper mine in its regional and supra-regional contexts. The corresponding objectives of this project are:
1.    To investigate intra-site activity patterns;
2.    To analyse the chaîne opératoire – from copper extraction to the production of bronze objects;
3.    To reconstruct food and energy supply at the mining site of Prigglitz-Gasteil; 
4.    To compare organisational models of Bronze Age mines in the Eastern Alps.
