Abstract

Spatial analysis of metallurgical production at two preRoman castros of the Astures indicates that a full-time metallurgical especialist supplied each village from a single area of occupation. It is possible to determine the craftsman' s social position, his level of technological expertise, as well as the scope of his production. We also discuss the supply ofraw material and the commerce within the region of the «Cultura Castreña» of northwest Iberia. By way of contrast, we analyze metallurgical production at two nearby Roman sites that belong to a period when intensive gold production had changed patterns of production and exploitation.
