This paper presents new data about the silver‐bearing copper mining area of the Arize (Central Pyrenees) during the fourth and third centuries BC. The identification of amphorae sherds from Magna Graecia and the Strait of Gibraltar region sheds new light on this metal production and confirms a systematic exploration of the ores before the end of the third century BC. At a regional scale, the existence of several mines operating between the fourth and third centuries BC also suggests a production that exceeded the local needs. Parallels can be drawn between this important raw metal production and the socio‐economic changes observed in Celtic Europe in the same period. We also point out the need for further in‐depth study of the economic situation of this region, lying at a crossroads between the Celtic and Mediterranean worlds.

在凯尔特人和地中海世界十字路口的西南高卢进行采矿。公元前4至3世纪里的大山脉（中央比利牛斯）的采矿区的情况。

本文介绍了有关公元前四到三世纪Arize（中比利牛斯山脉）含银铜矿开采区的新数据。从麦格纳·格拉西亚（Magna Graecia）和直布罗陀海峡（Strait）鉴定出的两栖植物牧草为这种金属生产提供了新的思路，并证实了在公元前三世纪末之前对矿石的系统性勘探。在区域范围内，在公元前四至三世纪之间存在着数个矿山，这也表明其产量超出了当地的需求。在这一重要的原金属生产与同期在凯尔特欧洲观察到的社会经济变化之间可以得出相似的结论。我们还指出，有必要对位于凯尔特人和地中海世界之间的十字路口的这一地区的经济状况进行更深入的研究。
