Which risk increased for Assyrian bronze casters at larger foundries?

💡 Explanation

Increased scale of casting means greater volumes retain more heat, increasing oxidation; therefore, increasing oxide inclusion formation, because of faster oxidation rates with more alloy surface area accessible, rather than reactions that maintain homogeneity preventing inclusions.
