Document Details : Title: The Stone Casting Moulds from Colle Madore Subtitle: Evidence of Metallurgy in Sikanie Author(s): VASSALLO, Stefano Journal: Ancient West & East Volume: 3 Issue: 1 Date: 2004 Pages: 20-37 DOI: 10.2143/AWE.3.1.3291935 Abstract : In this contribution I present some casting moulds for metals, found at a native Sikan site in central western Sicily. The moulds, datable to around the 11th century BC, pertain to different objects and represent important evidence of metallurgical activity in the Sicilian hinterland. They also document the circulation of tools and arms (axes, swords, and javelins) which in this historical period connects the whole of Sicily, from the seaboard to sites in the interior like Colle Madore. |
