Which outcome occurred in early Bronze Age Mesopotamia when tin sources became unreliable?

💡 Explanation

Increased usage of arsenical bronze occurred because arsenic could substitute for tin in bronze production, though with health risks. This served as a workaround using readily available materials (arsenic) in lieu of importing tin for standard alloys, therefore arsenical bronze became prevalent rather than a new smelting technique alone.
