According to the most generally accepted view on the development of copper extractive metallurgy, the first exploited ore has been native copper, followed later on by oxide ores, whereas sulfide ores have not been smelted before Middle Bronze Age, that is half of the 2nd millennium BC in Western Europe. This view partly relies on the fact that sulfide ore processing is said to be more difficult than oxide ore one. Nevertheless, archaeological witnesses of sulfide-based ore exploitation during the 3rd millennium BC have been brought into light in South of France, at Cabrières (Hérault) and Al-Claus (Tarn-et-Garonne). This quite early use of sulfides has led us to undertake field as well as laboratory smelting experiments, in order to shed ...
