Metal objects of the bronze age from North Western Russia

The article deals with the metal objects and traces of bronze casting manufacture in the II - first half of I mill. B.C. in North Western Russia. These findings may be subdivided into three cultural and chronological groups: objects of the Seyma Turbino type, products of the Scandinavian origin and Ananyino type. The author argues that local metal processing existed in North Western Russia through the entire Bronze Age without any chronological gaps. These findings suggest both own production and various foreign influences. There were two main sources of those influences: the Volga Kama centre and the Scandinavian one.
