video

A longish late 2023? video, apparently narrated by a very good artificial voice can be heard at ancient origins on Youtube (Wik forbids linking to it) . 2600:6C67:1C00:5F7E:D415:DC68:1444:3949 (talk) 04:24, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

About the expert needed tag regarding the axe blade

Disclaimer: I have an archaeology degree but metals are not my specialty

I took a look at Talk:Ötzi/Archive 4#Was the axe cold forged? and yeah the IP address user is correct in their assessment. I found the first study of the axe, which said it had been produced using "extensive thermal annealing, probably due to several alternate cycles of cold working and thermal softening" (p.50-51). But sources published since then say the axe was cast and wasn't subject to any mechanical hardening after casting (see this 2014 source in Italian (p.72) (I machine translated it), and the 2017 source (p.2) on the source of the copper.

Let me know if you think my assessment is accurate. In a few days I will edit the paragraph citing the 2010 website for the haft, and the 2017 source (open access) for the axe and the copper source instead of a newspaper. Merytat3n (talk) 09:11, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
