The materials I have just read on Copper/Bronze/Iron Age civilization indicated that there were two separate metalworking centers/societies, in the Eastern and Western Mediterranean. <br /><br />The Western Mediterranean distribution in that map is STUNNINGLY similarbto the modern distribution of I-M26 aka 12a1a. <br /><br />This site postulates a connection with M26 and Atlantic Seaboard / Western Med Megalithic cultures, but from looking at this map in this oost, it would appear there is a pretty crazy metals-trade angle there too.<br /><br />I will try to find a good map that shows the [non-clinal, seaboard]distribution of M26, but wow is it similar to that map abive.mooreisbetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17522884275516185288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-69777213387568343542012-07-25T03:13:21.843+03:002012-07-25T03:13:21.843+03:00"Do we know when the maritime trade in tin fr..."Do we know when the maritime trade in tin from Spain, Brittany and Cornwall began?"<br /><br />There may have been a gold, silver, and copper phase before that also.Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13398462488549380796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-13830456897177272052012-07-24T19:25:45.381+03:002012-07-24T19:25:45.381+03:00It seems that there is a good chance now that hapl...It seems that there is a good chance now that haplogroup J2a (Y-DNA) may be linked to the spread of metalurgy during the Bronze Age out of West Asia. I wonder then if J2a men were among the first agricultural innovators or if they were secondary receivers of agriculture living in the highlands and then developed metalurgical skills after receiving agriculture from lowland peoples and then spreading out form the highlands with Bronze technology?jackson_montgomery_devonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553257488930856466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-47726905676751991062012-07-24T17:35:31.200+03:002012-07-24T17:35:31.200+03:00Do we know when the maritime trade in tin from Spa...Do we know when the maritime trade in tin from Spain, Brittany and Cornwall began?
