Abstract

The research carried out during the last years in the mining district of Linares-La Carolina has allowed us to document important remains of extractive mining and ancient metallurgy, such as galleries, mines entrances, slag, etc. These elements were associated with the extraction of copper minerals and argentiferous galena, for example, the mines of Salas de Galiarda, El Centenillo, José Palacios or El Polígono. This paper offers an analysis on exploitation strate- gies of copper and lead/silver mines and territorial organization in the eastern Sierra Morena during  recent Prehistoric  and Roman  period.
