Ancient Spanish Copper Mine Possibly Tied to Scandinavian Bronze Artifacts

Excavations at the Las Minillas site in Spain have revealed large-scale copper mining from the Late Bronze Age. Chemical analysis suggests a connection between the copper from this site and 11 bronze objects found in Scandinavia. Researchers also documented extensive mining operations and identified many other mining locations nearby. These findings point to southern Iberia as a key source of copper supply across Europe during that era.
