Abstract

To complete the information for the implementation of a new Visit Center in the mining area of Tresminas, it has been carried out an investigation based on the stereoscopic photo-interpretation of several air flights (1948, 80 and 93), and the corresponding fieldwork. It has thus gained a new documentation on various aspects of ancient mining: resizing of the mines, defining accumulations of waste and highlight some elements of the hydraulic network, namely a series of cascade-deposits serving for the treatment of ground ore and waste evacuation. From this results new proposals to improve knowledge of the area have been produced.
