La función del metal entre los grupos campaniformes. oro versus cobre. el ejemplo de la región de Madrid

Abstract

This paper offers an overview of the Bell Beaker metallurgy in Madrid. This is a renewed vision thanks to data provided by the recent excavations in Camino de las Yeseras, a big settlement whose funerary contexts do not match the known conventions in these graves, for example, weapons - absent in the grave goods - are replaced with gold ornaments and other items made in exotic raw materials.
