The paper proposes that mining activity in northern Chile originated with the extraction of red pigment that predates copper mining by several millennia. We also summarize the information collected about pre-Hispanic metallic artifacts from Taltal, focusing on morphological features and preliminary chemical composition data, which affirm the existence of local metallurgy activity as well as the existence of imported metal go...
