This study tries making an approach to the iron metallurgy in the Eastern Pyrenees during pre-Roman and Roman times in the district of Baillestavy (France). The evidence has been obtained from the works in four mining sites: Mas Morer, Peña Blanca, La Coume et Mas Bourras. The data coming from sites like Mas Bourras have allowed tracing the mining activity to the 1st century AD, with evidence that could take it back to the First Iron Age.
