Abstract


The analysis of the Villena goldhoard bracelets is the starting point for a team research which has showed the existence of a technological stage which was more developed than we thought for the Atlantic Bronze Age in the Iberian Peninsula. The use of a complex lost wax casting gold technique and the existence of a horizontal rotary axis lathe are demonstrated. Finally we put forward an explanation for this important hoard and we stablish a chronological frame work framework for a series of gold finds coming from the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula.
