Photomicrographs of axes (a—AP10634, 500x, b—AP10636, 1000x, c—AP10638, 500x,) and swords (d—AP10473, e—AP10477, f—AP10482; all 200x) from Markovac Grunjac that show close to identical wrought (axes) and as-cast (swords) microstructures, which relate to shared communities of practice. Even if these photomicrographs are not identical between them, given the variability expected even within single objects, their similarities are heightened when compared against the backdrop of the full metallographic data set. Field of view: 200x = 650 μm, 500x = 270 μm, 1000x = 130 μm.
