The word "bronze" is not mentioned anywhere in the article.

So why is the heading of this thread "North America's Bronze Age" ?

A little misleading don't you think?

Only for fools who can't read the lines I wrote! Are you such?

Oh dear!
I read your heading and asked a very simple question. Maybe you should
get
a
better grasp of English before calling people "fools". Maybe then you
will
be a little easier to understand!!

The heading is written in correct English as intended.'

But only copper artifacts are mentioned in the North Amertica articles,
No Bronze.

Only fools like you can miss that a question needs background.
Background for question presented in the first article.
Please observe 'Bronze Age items' and not 'Bronze artifacts' or 'Bronze
Age
artifacts'

No mention of Bronze in the North America articles.
Only Copper.

Wrong. I suppose you didn't even try to read about the Bolivian Bronze
casting?
Apart from which. There are as I told the group only two ways the
metallurgic technology needed could have come to for example the Inca's
knowledge:
* Local knowledge:
either learnt due to own local experience during an un-known time in the
past.
or
the 1100 AD Bronze cast and artifacts like bells etc, found in Bolivia
represent the first local experience of Bronze production.

* Diffusion:
either from other parts of America
or from the Vikings.

While it's impossible for you or other naysayers to use both a wall against
of Viking influence in America at the same time maintaining your present
view against North American Bronze melting in Pre-Columbian Age due to
finding of the Bolivian cast,
I seriously doubt that the Vikings were interested in Bronze production ONLY
outside Greenland, Iceland and Scandinavia.
Now since cast been found and forged Bronze artifacts found in South and
Central America definitely dated to Pre-Columbian Age, the possibilities for
why who and where narrows down even more.


For the later speaks all the alloys used by for example the Incas. Alloys
needing hot temperatures and fire to be 'learnt' and used.

Do you and the naysayers have problem reading from A via B to C?
