Resumen:
Metallurgy is a technology for transforming metallic ores to usable metals. It is generally described as a sequence of steps (mainly mining, ore processing, fuel preparation, smelting, purification, alloying, casting and/or hammering) and components (raw materials, means of production, skills, knowledge) (Lechtman 1976; Shimada & Craig 2013; Serneels 2017). Many systematic investigations on ancient metallurgy have been carried out, so this entry aims to give just a glimpse into this fascinating world of minerals, metals and past-societies.
