Tin Sources and Regional Trade in the Bronze Age of Southeast Europe
All of Europe's historic tin-mining camps are associated with late-stage Variscan granites (ca. 300 Ma), and are limited in their distribution to western and central Europe. The deposits of the Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains) of Bohemia are the closest Variscan ores to Bulgaria, lying approximately 1,100 km from present-day Sofia.
