Abstract

The paper deals with the problem of the Bronze Age hearths specialization. The diagnostic methodology to determine the function of the hearths is scarce. To that end, we used X-ray fluorescence analysis of the soil as one of the methods to date the hearths. The variations in the chemical composition of the soils sampled from different hearths may indicate their specialization. This provides to conclude that the stable types of hearths with various functionalities were used in the Bronze Age. The hearths can be divided into production hearths and special heating structures.
