| Sumario: | [EN] One of the qualities of metal is that it can be recycled. The greater or lesser use of recycled metal is conditioned, among other factors, by the availability of raw materials and the demand for consumption, but other socio-economic factors also affect the overall volume of recycled metal used in each historical period. In order to validate the scale of metallurgical production and for the interpretation of provenance studies based on lead isotopes analysis (LIA), it is necessary to assess the incidence of recycling. In this research we focus in the argaric Bronze Age and develop three argumentative lines to understand how metal objects were used and evaluate the incidence of recycled metal. Firstly, we define, through the metallic objects themselves, their functional use and how this affect to the amount of metal that could have enter in the recycling system; later we compare the elemental composition to detect the trends that impurities follow after recycling, and finally we use the lead isotope available data to detect the impact of recycling through the mixing lines. All the information suggests that metal recycling was not a basic strategy in the metallurgical production of El Argar |
