In the Archaeological Museum of Asturias lies a skeleton with an eerie green hue suggestive of the supernatural. The story behind this curious cadaver is one that reflects the monumental cultural changes that arose during the Bronze Age.
The transition from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age in Spain heralded huge technological development as humankind began to manipulate natural resources to produce tools. As a result, mines became culturally and spiritually important places.
