• Resumen

  • ‘Hair-rings’, like other artefact categories of the European Bronze Age, are distinctive in form, and distinctively placed in space and in time. But we have not easily come to know just what they were for, or in what other ways we can discern meaning in and from them. Although modest in appearance, it does appear that ‘hair rings’ were significant objects that possibly indicate social ranking but also trading activities.
