Reproduction of melting behavior for vitrified hillforts based on amphibolite, granite, and basalt lithologies
Abstract European Bronze and Iron Age vitrified hillforts have been known since the 1700s, but archaeological interpretations regarding their function and use are still debated. We carried out a series of experiments to constrain conditions that led to the vitrification of the inner wall rocks in th...
