Este libro reune las investigaciones sobre la explotacion tartesica del estano realizadas en San Cristobal de Logrosan (Caceres, Espana) por Craig Merideth entre 1992 y 2002 y las coordinadas por el G.I. PRETAGU de la Universidad de Extremadura entre 2013 y 2017. En sintesis, se trata de un estudio interdisciplinar sobre este poblado minero-metalurgico y de la comunidad que lo habito, incluida una propuesta de la ‘cadena operativa’ del beneficio de la casiterita durante el Bronce Final-Hierro I. El relevante papel jugado por este estrategico recurso parece justificar la presencia en esta region interior del suroeste iberico de elementos de prestigio y estatus social como los del Tesoro de Berzocana y la estela de guerrero de Solana de Cabanas. A mayor escala, los estudios arqueologicos y analiticos permiten integrar San Cristobal en la ‘red regional’ de contactos e intercambios atlantico-mediterraneos confluyentes en Huelva, foco emergente de Tartessos.

This book brings together the archaeological research carried out by Craig Merideth between 1992 and 2002 on the Tartessian exploitation of tin in Cerro de San Cristobal de Logrosan (Caceres, Spain) and the work done later, in the period 2013-2017, coordinated by the G.I. PRETAGU of the University of Extremadura. It is an interdisciplinary study of this metallurgical-mining site and the community that settled there, including a proposal of the ‘operational chain’ of the treatment and use of the cassiterite during the Late Bronze-Iron I phase. The relevant role played by this strategic mineral resource seems to justify the presence of elements of prestige and social status such as the Berzocana Treasure and the warrior’s stela of Solana de Cabanas in the south-central west of the Iberian Peninsular. On a larger scale, archaeological and analytical studies allow the integration of San Cristobal into the ‘regional network’ of Atlantic-Mediterranean contacts and exchanges converging in Huelva, an emerging settlement of Tartessos.
