Metallurgical technology and resources mobility in the El Argar culture
Metallurgy has been defined as a pivotal activity in understanding of the development of El Argar society. Nonetheless, comprehensive studies of extractive metallurgical processes based on archaeometallurgical analyses remain lacking. This article examines the production remains found at the El Argar site of Laderas del Castillo, documented from 2150 to 1950 cal BC, including samples of slag, crucibles, copper prills and artefacts. Laderas del Ca…
Bioavailable 87 Sr/ 86 Sr variability and Bronze and Iron Ages caprine mobility on the Balearic Islands (Spain)
This paper presents the most extensive 87Sr/86Sr datasets from Late Prehistory contexts in addition to bioavailable 87Sr/86Sr values for baseline characterization on the Balearic Islands. A total of 149 caprine dental enamel samples from Mallorca, Menorca, and Formentera islands (Spain), and 35 environmental baseline samples covering the main geologies of these islands are presented here. In addition, a combination of strontium and oxygen sequent…
First evidence for the forging of gold in an Early Bronze Age Site of Central Europe (2200–1800 BCE)
Evidence of gold processing in the fortified site of Bruszczewo (Poland) is the first testimony of the production of gold artefacts in a domestic Early Bronze Age site of Central Europe. This paper highlights the potential of macrolithic tool ensembles as a key element for the recognition of metallurgical work processes. Moreover, it presents an optimised methodological approach to tackle the application of stone tools in metallurgical production…

Halberdiers and Combat Systems in the Argaric
The Argaric halberd is a specialized weapon for hand‐to‐hand combat, with its full development in the south‐east of the Iberian Peninsula between 2000 and 1800 cal BCE. This paper deals with the Argaric combat system and the factors that drove this type of confrontation, given the social order, the active and passive archaeological traces present in these weapons and their effects on the human body. This pragmatic order of directing interpersonal…
Can Mur (Barcelona). Crisoles con sistema de prensión y la metalurgia de la Edad del Bronce en el nordeste de la Península Ibérica
Este artículo da a conocer un crisol con pie macizo inédito procedente del asentamiento de la Edad del Bronce de Can Mur (Valldoreix, Barcelona). Se describen sus características tipológicas y se aportan datos composicionales de las adherencias de base cobre (FRXp). Se exponen los crisoles sincrónicos con sistema de prensión existentes en la Península Ibérica y, tras detallar los paralelos en el Próximo Oriente y Europa, se propone su llegada a t…
Mazas Ocultas. Rastros De Minería Prehistórica en El Cerro Minado De Huercal-Overa (Almería)
La metalurgia en el sureste peninsular jugó un papel destacado en el desarrollo de los grupos arqueológicos de Los Millares y El Argar. Sin embargo, hasta la fecha uno de los aspectos determinantes de la producción metalúrgica prehistórica continúa siendo prácticamente des- conocido: la minería. Recientemente este panorama ha cambiado gracias a la identif icación inequívoca de evidencias de minería prehistórica en la mina de Cerro Minado, en el n…
