Resumen de Tomb 100 at Cabezo Lucero. New light on goldworking in fourth-century BC Iberia

Alicia Perea, Barbara Armbruster

• A goldsmith's toolkit found in an Iberian tomb reveals ground-breaking details about the manufacture of the gold ornaments for which this culture is renowned. Two blowpipes for joining gold with a high precision jet of air unlock the techniques of brazing, granulation and filigree. The authors go on to propose that the buried man was no ordinary craftsman, but a member of the warrior class in control of producing the treasures of the age.
