Interwoven Traditions in Bell Beaker Metallurgy: Approaching the Social Price of Copper at Bauma Del Serrat Del Pont (Northeast Iberia)

Julia Motres-Linda

Debates on early scientific discipline in Western Europe have often centered on the social price of copper (between utilitarian and symbolic) and its acknowledged role within the emergence and consolidation of hierarchies. Recent analysis shows that generalisations are progressively indefensible and highlights the requirement for comparative regional studies. Given its location in associate intermediate space, the first scientific discipline of Northeast Iberia provides a remarkable case in purpose to explore the interaction between the well-characterised traditions of southern Iberia and southern France throughout the third and 2d millennia BCE. Here the analytical study of seven Bell Beaker (decorated and undecorated) vessels reused as crucibles at Bauma Del Serrrat del Pont is bestowed [1]. We tend to used pXRF, metallography, SEM-EDS and lead atom analyses. The results show proof for copper smelting using a noteworthy kind of ore sources, together with Solana del Bepo Turquesa and Les Ferreres mines, and an additional unknown space. The smelting vessels were factory-made mistreatment similar clay that contained each mineral and organic inclusion. Our results ar mentioned with relevance all the proof obtainable for metals and scientific discipline within the Northeast and additional broadly speaking compared to southern Iberia and southern France, with special stress on problems with production organisation and social quality. Taken along, our results support the notion that copper scientific discipline vie a preponderantly utilitarian role in Bell Beaker societies and highlight individual aspects of the scientific discipline flight within the Northeast[2]. Variations between territories challenge unilinear explanations of technological and social development once the introduction of scientific discipline. Separate trajectories will solely be explained in relevancy area-specific socio-cultural and environmental factors.
