Which process improvement allowed Mesopotamian bronze production to switch from arsenic bronze to tin bronze?

💡 Explanation

Switching to tin bronze required precise control of the tin/copper ratio, because arsenic bronze could be created with widely varying arsenic content. Therefore proportioning techniques became critical, rather than atmosphere control, furnace temps, or fluxing which aided general smelting.
