A recent study published in Antiquity used Cosine Quantogram Analysis to demonstrate mass-regulation in a small sample of gold objects from Britain, Ireland and France. Since then, substantial quantities of new data from British Bronze Age gold objects have been collated. Here, the author presents the results of Cosine Quantogram Analysis on nearly 1000 such objects—the largest sample analysed to date. The results demonstrate that, even though some regularities can be discerned, mass-regulation is no longer a tenable interpretation of gold objects from Bronze Age Britain."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.15184/aqy.2021.54"],["dc.identifier.pii","S0003598X21000545"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/105746"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-530"],["dc.relation.eissn","1745-1744"],["dc.relation.issn","0003-598X"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.title","Weight regulation in British Bronze Age gold objects: a reanalysis and reinterpretation"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Consisting of balance beams, suspension cords,scale pans and sometimes metal suspension loops, the only evidence found to date are 18 complete and frag-mented balance beams. Made of bone or antler, these balance beams are often perceived as extremely fragile andonly able to weigh-out minute loads. This, however, had never been tested. In order to understand exactly howBronze Age balances were made, of what materials and how much load they could bear, a number of replicabalance beams, suspension cords and metal loops were created. The load-bearing capacity was then tested withtwo standard material sciences testing methods: three-point bending tests and uniaxial tensile testing."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.jasrep.2020.102444"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/17675"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/91885"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Migrated from goescholar"],["dc.relation.issn","2352-409X"],["dc.relation.issn","2352-409X"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Philosophische Fakultät"],["dc.rights","CC BY-NC-ND 4.0"],["dc.rights.access","openAccess"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0"],["dc.subject","European Bronze Age; Balance scales; Weight metrology; Experimental archaeology; Bone carving; Fibre making; Bronze wire"],["dc.subject.ddc","100"],["dc.title","Breaking News!
