**From Land's End to the Levant: did Britain's tin sources transform the Bronze Age in Europe and the Mediterranean?**

“_Results from the shipwrecks near Israel strongly suggest that the ‘bronzization’ of the East Mediterranean, occurring 1500–1300 BC, was primarily driven by European tin sources, particularly from south-west Britain, rather than Central Asian sources. Tin ore finds from settlements across Cornwall and Devon suggest a decentralised production model in prehistory, with agriculture still dominant alongside numerous small alluvial tin workings._”
