Geochemical Prospecting at Mt. Prosara and Motajica, Northern Bosnia: Examining Potential Sites of Bronze Age Placer Tin Ore Mining

Provenance of tin in the Late Bronze Age Balkans based on probabilistic and spatial analysis of Sn isotopes

“…However, the validity and viability of most of these proposed sources need to be confirmed with on-site sampling and analysis. For example, Cruse et al (2017) report that although tin mineralization is present at Motajica and Prosara, there is no significant placer accumulation of cassiterite at these sites. In addition, more distant tin sources may need to be considered.…”
