International audienceVal Camonica is well known for its large and exceptional quantity of rock carvings, but it is also an area rich in metallic ores. Two groups of mining works have been explored and are the subject of this paper. The mining areas of Silter di Campolungo and of Baita Cludona are in Val Grigna, a small valley of glacial origin. These two copper mines have been dated to the Early Iron Age. Their study has shown mining techniques previously unknown for that age. The mining activity at Campolungo begun as an opencast mine with the excavation of deep trenches. These works begin at 1535 m above sea level and reach an attitude of 1635 m. In order to reach the deepest copper lodes of Campolungo the miners dug an adit about 120 m ...
