Sampling ancient adhesives at Lucone di Polpenazze (Brescia, North Italy)

Thanks to our friend and colleague M. Baioni, we visited the “Museo archeologico della Valle Sabbia – Gavardo” and sampled some amazing agricultural tools from the pile-dwelling site of Lucone di Polpenazze (Bronze Age). The project aims to study the use of adhesive substance and their implication for the analysis of ancient farming systems.
