Recent excavations at the Neolithic site of Cerro Virtud (Almeria, 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, l4C) that have been applied to it.
