最近对西班牙东南部阿尔梅里亚的Cerro Virtud新石器时代遗址的发掘，提供了有关冶金发展的新信息，可能不仅改变了伊比利亚半岛正在进行的研究，也改变了西欧其他地区正在进行的研究。公元前五千年前半个世纪在这一地区发现了冶金，这给解释这一行业是如何发展和传播带来了严重挑战，因为最近有类似证据的欧洲地区是巴尔干地区。这项研究介绍了这一发现的考古背景和各种分析技术(XRF、扫描电子显微镜、14C)已经应用于它。
Recent excavations at the Neolithic site of Cerro Virtud (Almería, southeast Spain) have produced new information about the development of metallurgy that may change ongoing research not only in the Iberian Peninsula but also in the rest of western Europe. The discovery of metallurgy in this region in the first half of the 5th millennium BC poses serious challenges to the interpretation of how this industry developed and spread, given that the nearest European region with similar evidence is the Balkans. This study presents the archaeological context of the discovery and the various analytical techniques (XRF, SEM, 14C) that have been applied to it.
