One of the stages of research of the metal production issue of the Bronze Age of the Dnipro-Don region in the 60s—90s of the XX century is analyzed in the paper. The second, analytical stage in the history of the study of metal production of the Bronze Age of the Dnipro-Don region, according to the general periodization, is marked by a sharp increase in the source base, the development of analytical research and the appearance of the first historical generalizations related to metal. During this period, the metal becomes the object of special study, including using natural and scientific methods. Y. Tatarynov’s excavations of ancient sites in the area of copper ore deposits of the Bakhmut hollow of Donbass, which provided culturally and chronologically determined evidence of ancient metal production, allowed the researcher to draw a conclusion regarding the existence of a mining and metallurgical center in the Donetsk Ridge during the Bronze Age, associated with the people of Zrubna Culture. Increased attention, especially in the 1990s, to the research of the sites of the Donetsk Mining and Metallurgical Center was due to the results of the research of the unique sites of the Zrubna Culture specialized in metal production — Mosolovske in the Middle Don region and Usovo Ozero in the Seversko-Donetsk region. The identification of the Don-Donetsk industrial zone of metallurgy and metal production of the Late Bronze Age, within which both entire associations of craftsmen and individual craftsmen functioned, led to a more purposeful understanding of this issue. However, at this stage, neither the problem of the raw material base nor a number of other problems, including associated with the Donetsk mining and metallurgical center of the Bronze Age were not finally solved. In order to solve them, the needs of the united efforts of specialists representing various fields of knowledge, including natural and technical profiles (geology, mining, metallurgy, etc.) is already felt. The trend towards a comprehensive analysis of the problem of metal production activity of the population of the Bronze Age of the Dnipro-Don region, and above all of the Donetsk mining and metallurgical center of the Bronze Age, was clearly defined only at the beginning of the third millennium.
