Resumo
In this paper we offer an overview of the emergence and consolidation of copper metallurgy and its alloys in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula, where the ores of the territory, as well as its location in the Atlantic Finisterre and its orographic characteristics, have determined a particular historical development. We will begin this synthesis analysing the evidence that shows the presence of metallurgical activity and its social context, to subsequently delve into the consolidation of this activity and its extension to different spheres of social life, as well as the increase in the scale of production. In all these areas, the circulation networks of raw materials, manufactured goods, ideas and technologies play an important role.
