Abstract
En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de las
intervenciones arqueológicas preventivas realizadas
en la mina de Aguas Teñidas (Almonaster la Real,
Huelva). Se describen los restos romanos asociados
a su explotación, un pequeño escorial de cobre y
un edificio de grandes dimensiones, y se estudian
los materiales muebles asociados a estos restos, que
permiten plantear que la explotación se centró en la
primera mitad del siglo I d. C. Como conclusión se
propone que Aguas Teñidas representa un modelo
de explotación minera muy corriente en las minas
de la Faja Pirítica ibérica, un distrito minero en el
que sólo las grandes minas de Riotinto, Tharsis,
Sotiel Coronada, y Aljustrel continuaron con la
producción de metal en la segunda mitad del siglo I
d.C. y el siglo II d.C.
This paper presents the results of archaeological preventive interventions carried out at Aguas Teñidas mine (Almonaster la Real, Huelva). We describe the Roman remains associated with its explotation, a small heaps of copper slag and a large building, and the study of archeological materials associated with these remains (pottery, glass, iron tools, etc.), which allow to state that the operation concentrated on the first half of the first century a.C. In conclusion Aguas Teñidas represent a model mine very common in the mines of the Iberian Pyrite Belt, a mining district in which only large mines of Rio Tinto, Tharsis, Sotiel Coronada, and Aljustrel continued with the metal production in the second half of the first century and the second century a.C.
