Which constraint limited early Mesopotamian bronze axes, preventing large scale forestry?

💡 Explanation

Over-alloying bronze with tin leads to increased hardness, promoting edge retention; however, the mechanism of increased brittleness results. Highly tinned bronze is fracture-prone, therefore hindering ability to function in heavily wooded areas, rather than simple ore scarcity.
