La producción de bronces durante El Argar: frecuencia y criterios de uso

Abstract

[EN] Tin bronze alloys were first used in the south-east of the iberian peninsula during the period of the El Argar Early Bronze Age culture. In this study, we compiled all the available published elemental analyses in order to understand the frequency and use of this alloy. The data show that some metal types such as halberds were never made of bronze, whereas a great number of personal ornaments (earrings, arm-rings or finger-rings) do contain tin. The chromatic effect by combining different metals and alloys (copper, bronze, silver) in the same object or in the same burial, or the higher or lower social value given to the different metals, could explain the choices in the alloys used instead of just functional or technological advantages during this Early Bronze Age. We also consider the option of metal imports from other Iberian or European regions to explain the presence of the first tin bronzes.

[ES] La aleación de cobre con estaño aparece por primera vez en el sureste de la península ibérica en época argárica. En el presente estudio realizamos una recopilación de todos los análisis de composición publicados con el fin de valorar la frecuencia y el uso de esta aleación. Los datos muestran que algunos objetos como las alabardas nunca se fabricaron en bronce y que es en los adornos personales (brazaletes, anillo y pendientes) en los que con mayor frecuencia se detecta esta aleación. El efecto cromático de los metales y aleaciones (cobre, bronce, plata) y su combinación en los ajuares funerarios o el mayor o menor valor social dado a los diferentes metales parecen explicar mejor su elección y uso que los criterios de mejora tecnológica o funcional en esta fase de la Edad del Bronce. Se plantea que los primeros bronces pudieran ser objetos importados de otras regiones peninsulares o europeas.
