Abstract - The copper axe blade discovered in the pile dwelling site of Zug-Riedmatt is one of the few Neolithic copper axe blades in Europe that can be dated with certainty. The blade’s form and its metal composition suggest that it is connected both to the south – more specifically to Copper Age cultures in northern Italy and southern Tuscany – and to the copper axe of the famous ice mummy of Tisenjoch (called ‘the Iceman’ or ‘Ötzi’). We were able to confirm this connection to the south by measuring the lead isotope composition of the blade, which traces the blade’s origin to Southern Tuscany. Due to these links to the south, the copper axe blade of Zug-Riedmatt can be described as a key to understanding Neolithic metallurgy north of the ...
