“…Estos porcentajes correspondían a escorias de metalurgia argentífera, y desde el punto de vista de los minerales de partida eran ricos en plata y oro, aunque éste último no se encuentra en unos valores que pudieron beneficiarse con la tecnología mineralúrgica de esa época. Los depósitos de la Faja Pirítica tienen bajos tenores de plomo, y Salkield propuso que el plomo para llevar a cabo la copelación se importaba del distrito minero de Carthago Nova, como indicaban los sellos de los lingotes de plomo encontrados en Riotinto, recientemente valorados (Rothenhoefer et al 2016).…”

Com este trabalho fazemos um périplo pela história contemporânea da exploração mineira em São Domingos (Mértola, Portugal), quando foram postos a descoberto a maioria dos trabalhos mineiros romanos e dos seus equipamentos de mineração. Todos estes achados arqueológicos confirmam que esta mina terá sido um dos principais coutos mineiros do sudoeste peninsular no período romano. Embora a maior parte dos vestígios a ela associados tenham sido destruídos pela actividade recente da mina, restam, no entanto, os grandes escoriais romanos que comprovam a produção de metais nesta mina. O nosso trabalho teve como objectivo definir a que tipo de metalurgia corresponde cada um daqueles escoriais. Os resultados das nossas análises confirmam que em época romana esta mina produziu prata e cobre, tendo ocorrido o seu período de maior actividade durante a primeira metade do séc. I d.C. Palavras

“…Initially, mining was done with crude technology and a superficial approach. The mining industry didn't become relevant until the second century B.C., with the arrival of the Romans in the south of the Peninsula (Mateo, 2004;Rothenhoefer et al, 2016), developing innovative methods to address the issues that lead to a deeper exploitation of this area due to the introduction of new techniques. One of the major issues that the mining industry had to deal with was water drainage.…”

Comparative Analysis of Water Extraction Mechanism in Roman Mines

The removal of water from mines was one of the key issues that former miners had to deal with. Roman colonists brought new technology to the Iberian Peninsula that addressed this problem. However, they did not invent this technology because it had already been applied to the growth of other endeavours in the Hellenistic society throughout the Eastern Mediterranean. In the mine, the Archimedes screw, waterwheels, bucket pulleys, and Ctesibius pumps were the primary drainage systems. In this essay, the primary characteristics, and modes of operation of machines are examined. Without leaving out the most significant finds made in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula, one of the regions with the longest history of mining exploitation. To serve as a foundation for future research in this field, this work compares the primary mining mechanisms in ancient Huelva on a qualitative and quantitative level by the implementation of a TOPSIS methodology, a multi-criteria decision analysis method.
