    Mining Archaeology is a specific field well developed in the British Isles during recent decades. A reason of ongoing interest in this field is the particular bond between regional history and the exploitation of metals. References to mines in the area exist in Strabo’s works. However the first accomplished study on the topic was attempted by Oliver Davies in 1935. Other momentous researches were that of geologist John S. Jackson about mines in Ireland and Lewis and Jones in Dolaucothi goldmine in Wales. It would be inappropriate not to mention the contribution of R.F.Tylecote not only in this section but in general about the establishment of archaeo-metallurgy. Moreover in the 1980s and 1990s a new generation of amateurs and scientists began investigations in different locations in the British Isles, including Duncan James on the Great Orme’s Head, Simon Timberlake with the Early Mines Research Group at sites in Wales and William O’Brien in Ireland.
