“…, cf. Armbruster 2010, 135–8). A connection with metalworking is compelling in view of the compositional evidence, and the scrapping of a foreign object for the production of local types has been suggested elsewhere.…”

“…An incomplete assemblage whose exact original composition is unknown (Figure 3C). It is currently made up of a sheet collar (MAC-3780/1) and 10 laminar fragments, of which four would have corresponded to two bands that can be interpreted as diadems (MAC-3780/3-4 and MAC-3780/2 y 10), and another two to another possible sheet collar (MAC-3780/6-7) [42,49] (pp. 101-104).…”

This article presents the results of a topographical and analytical study using hh-XRF of 22 gold and gilded objects from the Archaeological and Historical Museum of A Coruña (Galicia, Spain). They are highly representative of the northwestern Iberian goldwork from the Chalcolithic (third millennium BC) to the early Roman period (first century AD). This study contributes to our knowledge of the production techniques used in those periods, as well as their evolution over time. The collection includes some of the most representative types in this area, such as Early Bronze Age “sheet collars” and torcs from the Second Iron Age. In the case of torcs, new data are provided on one of the formally best-documented types (the Artabrian type) and on those known as “Baroque torcs” that are characteristic of the final moments of this goldsmith tradition. While pieces from the Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age were made with alluvial gold, the torcs from the Late Iron Age contain variable amounts of silver and copper. Also detected is the frequent use of cores made of less precious metals, which were subsequently given a golden appearance using gilding techniques. The new data are discussed in light of our current knowledge of NW Iberian goldwork, one of the most representative of this craft tradition in Western Europe for those periods.

“…From its characteristics, it belongs with the well‐known decorated bar torcs that form the Sagrajas‐Berzocana group (Armbruster 2021, 154), being though unusual in that it is an undecorated specimen. Among its companion torcs, its shape resembles the so‐called Berzocana torc 2 (Cáceres) (Callejo and Blanco 1960, 252), though different in the finishing of the terminal ends.…”

The Acehúche Gold Torc: Gold and Sacred Land on the Shores of the Tagus River (Cáceres, Western Spain)

This article describes the important discovery of a Late Bronze Age gold torc that was unearthed in a field of Acehúche (Cáceres, Spain). It was buried underneath some rocks at a site near a river crossing over the Tagus river. In its immediate vicinity, archaeological remains dating from the Copper Age to the Late Bronze Age have been found, which indicates the long use of this crossing. Until recently here, there existed a ferry and a chapel; and the place went by the toponym of the Dehesa de San Cristóbal. Legend too has it that the water from the river had curative properties. All of these components have maintained the sacred nature of the spot, otherwise transformed over the course of time, and reflect an earlier sacred landscape with quite ancient roots. THE TORC: DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICSThe Acehúche hoard consists of a plain bar torc of gold, given a deliberate ellipsoidal shape. The cross-section of the bar is circular: its maximum thickness is 10 mm in the central area, decreasing to 7 mm at the ends, whose very terminals are slightly sunken. It measures15.8 cm across
