So often these posts peak my interest and Cumbria is a place I wasn't familiar with. Looking at photos online it sure looks like a beautiful place to visit. Wow 3000 years old. I wonder how those ancient people of that region came to obtain that alloy of copper and tin and where the two elements found near where it was discovered or was this artifact transported from far away through trade? We can only speculate because of the term, before recorded history.
