Scandinavian bronze craftsmanship during the Bronze Age has been discussed in various contexts countless times. This discussion can continue thanks to new discoveries and new ways of investigating the material. I investigate Bronze Age bronze craftsmanship, primarily how accessible it was to people in Scandinavia. Has it been an accessible technology or have the craftsmen kept their knowledge and only spread the technology to selected people? What routes have the technology and knowledge taken? Was there room for local part-time bronze casters or did the technology require so much knowledge that the craftsman had to be a specialist? These are questions I approach by examining the different stages of the craft through the Chaîne opératoire. By breaking down and discussing the different stages of the craft, I hope to approach the bronze craftsman and his skill. I also examine casting crucibles, molds and other technical ceramics. My main material, however, is in wood axes. The single largest group of bronze artifacts from the Scandinavian Bronze Age and a type of object that must be classified as everyday objects.
