This contribution summarises our state of knowledge of metal working activities in the long-researched oppidum of Třísov, from the excavations of the National Museum in the 1950s-1980s to the extensive prospections in recent years. The spatial pattern of specialised production of non-ferrous metals is outlined based on the spatial distribution of characteristic features and finds. The first results of the chemical and isotope analyses of a selection of bronze objects are presented, pointing out the hypothesis of the extensive recycling common at the oppida in the late La Tène period that possibly involved also objects obtained through long distance contacts.
