catalaL’any 2009 s’inicia un projecte que consistia en la recerca de proves arqueologiques d’activitats mineres prehistoriques a Menorca. S’identificaren diversos punts d’aflorament de coure i es recolliren mostres de mineral per analitzar. La informacio de la seva localitzacio provenia, en practicament tots els casos, de fonts documentals d’epoca contemporania. A part de les descobertes d’epoca prehistorica, l’estudi d’aquestes mineralitzacions va posar al descobert un patrimoni arqueologic industrial poc tingut en compte fins ara. En aquest article, es fa una breu descripcio de les explotacions estudiades i es valora la possibilitat que aquestes s’haguessin pogut explotar a la prehistoria. EnglishA project was launched in 2009 to investigate archaeological evidence of prehistoric mining activities in Menorca. During the course of the research, several different copper outcrops were identified and ore samples were collected for analysis. In virtually all cases, information on their location came from modern documentary sources. In addition to discoveries from prehistoric times, studying this ore revealed an industrial archaeological heritage that has been largely overlooked until now. This article provides a brief description of each of the sites studied and assesses the possibility of their exploitation in prehistoric times
