1300 BC Spain Copper Mine Linked to Scandinavian Bronze Artifacts
Excavations at the Las Minillas site in Spain uncovered extensive copper mining from the Late Bronze Age around 1300 BC. Chemical analysis connected this copper source to 11 bronze objects found in Scandinavia, suggesting ancient trade networks. Researchers identified many nearby mining sites, highlighting southern Iberia's key role in Europe's copper supply during that era.
