| Description | This paper takes an interdisciplinary and comparative approach between history and archaeology, focusing specifically on two major silver-producing regions in the Central Middle Ages: Iglesias in Sardinia and Jihlava in Bohemia. The study will first examine the norms and practices related to mining concessions, including their conception, establishment, and maintenance. It will then explore the choices made in the organization of the production process, including mines, mineralurgical and metallurgical workshops. |
