Abstract


Many attempts have been made to establish a chronological framework for Galician early metalwork, and none is wholly satisfactory. Metal-working has been seen in terms of poorly defined traditions and industries, and the conventional terminology has tended to straitjacket the artefacts themselves. Through the contextual study of that set new outlines are proposed on the articulation of the metalwork with Bell Beaker pottery and the Early Bronze Age, the beginnings of the copper-tin alloy, or the argaric origin of silver spirals in the North-West of the Iberian Peninsula.
