An aquaintance has referred interesting theory to me, which may stand

manufacture and trading in the Baltic. Unfortunately I don't know
enough about this to form an opinion.
Can anyone tell me if:
a) There is evidence of a significant Bronze Age centre of metal
working or trading in any particular part of the Baltic. The relevant
metals are (obviously) copper, tin and possibly zinc.
b) Where the centre is located.
c) What is the evidence for its existence and where is it possible to
read about it.
I have only a general knowledge of the bronze age activities in the
Baltic and it is the evidence for the existence of a specific centre
of commercial or, possibly, military power in which I am interested.
Can you (and more vitally, will you) elaborate on what your
acquaintance's theory is?
See my reply to Alan Crozier.
Is the theory linked to trade in the relevant metals, or is the center
under discussion an area which already contains the metals?
Does s/he have any more specific dating in mind than the Bronze Age?
Try circa 1000 BCE or thereabouts.
Inquireing minds.
