Cabezo Juré is an archaeological site located in Alosno, Andalusia from the 3rd millennium BC.[1] The archaeological excavations have recently revealed the vestiges of an ancient community of workers specialized in the metallurgy of copper.[2] Evidence of their metallurgical activity has been found in remains of various furnaces obtained at temperatures close to 2,200 °F as well as large quantities of slag by SiO2 saturate silicates and copper products.[3] Calibrated radiocarbon age revealed it was active between 2873 and 2274 BC.[4]
