Bassets of copper ore in western ukrainne as a raw material base of color metallurgy in the period of tripolye culture
Abstract
The article presents a study of copper ore from western Ukraine aimed at explanation of
possibilities of their exploitation for the color metallurgy development during the period of Tripolye
culture. It gives a short characteristics of lithological, mineralogical, and geochemical composition of
copper ores from the Dneper area, Volhynia, and the Carpathians plateau. It further presents results of
chemical and spectral analysis of ore-bearing rocks, evaluation of its current state and potential possibilities
of their use in the past.
Based upon a statement that metal objects produced during the existence of the Tripolye culture
were made of pure copper two methods of its procurement were considered: (a) from a virgin copper,
and (b) from oxygenated copper ore of sedimentary origin in which a small number of admixtures was
noticed.
The paper shows the potential of studies aimed at explanation of the correlation between contemporary
and past copper ores and some copper goods from archaeological sites of the Tarnopol region.
