[ES] La zona minera de La Bessa (Biella, Piamonte, Italia) fue explotada en época republicana (siglos ii-i a.C.) para extraer oro de un yacimiento fluvioglaciar. Su explotación exhaustiva en pequeños sectores hace bastante difícil la interpretación del sistema de explotación empleado. En último término, se basó en el uso de la fuerza hidráulica a lo largo de todo el proceso minero, por lo que es un excelente precedente de las grandes minas de oro en yacimientos secundarios de Hispania. Mediante el uso integrado de la fotointerpretación y de técnicas de información geográfica se ha actualizado la interpretación de esos sistemas de explotación. Dentro de ella ha tenido particular importancia la identificación de las estructuras de evacuación y acumulación de estériles, que ha permitido hacer una evaluación de todo el material removido.
[EN] The La Bessa mining area (Biella, Piamonte, Italy) was worked during the Republican period (2nd–1st centuries BCE) to extract gold from a fluvio-glacial deposit. The system of exploitation used is rather hard to interpret given that it was pursued exhaustively in small parcels. In the final analysis, it was based on the use of water power throughout the mining process, and as such is a significant precedent to the large-scale gold mining in secondary deposits in Hispania. The interpretation of these exploitation systems has been updated through the integration of photo interpretation and geographic information techniques. Particularly important in that interpretation has been the identification of the structures of removal and stockpiling of excavated material, which has made it possible to assess all the material removed.
