Vingt ans de recherches à Saint-Véran, Hautes Alpes: état des connaissances de l’activité de production de cuivre à l’âge du Bronze ancien

Abstract: RÉSUMÉA l'âge du Bronze ancien en Europe occidentale, l'augmentation drastique de la production de cuivre est très peu documentée au niveau des activités minières et métallurgiques de transformation. Dans ce contexte, le gisement minier et métallurgique de Saint-Véran, Hautes-Alpes constitue un témoin privilégié de la production de masse à la fin du 3 e millénaire, puisqu'aux travaux miniers rendant compte d'une exploitation à grande échelle, avec une production de près de sept tonnes de cuivre par an, plusieu… Show more

“…The flat type (Fig. (b)) has the typical features of the Plattenschlacke slags as described by Herdits (), Cierny et al () and Bourgarit et al (). It is characterized by a cross‐thickness limited to few millimetres (10 mm at most), a lack of visible porosity, a homogeneous texture and very smooth surfaces, sometimes showing features of rapid cooling on one side (cooling ripples).…”

“…The LBA slags from Trentino and Alto Adige have repeatedly been investigated in recent decades, because of their importance in prehistoric metallurgy and because at least one type of slag shows a very distinctive morphology (the so‐called ‘flat slags’, or ‘Plattenschlacke’), which is hardly observed anywhere else (Cattoi et al ; Anguilano et al ; Herdits ; Metten ; Cierny et al ; Burger et al ; Bourgarit et al ) and the technical significance of which is uncertain.…”

“…Neolithic and Copper Age procurement of bright-coloured copper and iron compounds was also revealed at Grotta della Monaca in Calabria, but it is unclear whether these ores were sourced for their metal content or as pigments (Larocca, 2005;Geniola et al, 2006). As for the abundant alpine deposits, the mining and smelting of copper-rich bornite have been discovered at Saint Veŕan in the French Alps, and this evidence is dated to the late third millennium BC (Bourgarit et al, 2008(Bourgarit et al, , 2010. Finally, sporadic traces of prehistoric copper and cinnabar mining are known at several sites in Tuscany, northern Latium (including the recently discovered site at Poggio Malinverno; Giardino & Steiniger, 2011) and perhaps Calabria, but their chronology is mostly unclear (Colini, 1898(Colini, -1902Mochi, 1915;Arcangeli et al, 2008;Novellis & Veneziano, 2011).…”

“…No significant quantities of slag appear to have been produced during smelting operations in Chalcolithic and Early BA (EBA) Europe, except for the site of Saint Véran in France, where large quantities of slag have been found (Sangmeister ; Bourgarit et al . ) and the slag produced seems to have been crushed to recover the metal prills it contains in most instances (e.g., Rovira ; Hanning et al . ).…”
