Abstract
Excavations at Nuraghe Santa Barbara, Bauladu, western Sardinia have f illed gaps in the poorly documented history of bronze casting in ancie nt Sardinia. 12th-8th century B. C. village surrounding this five-towe red nuraghe has yielded clear signs of metallurgical activity. The tec hnological assessment of these remains, based on elemental and microsc opic analyses, is described.
