Archeological Museum of the Mining District
ARCHEOLOGICAL MUSEUM OF THE MINING DISTRICT - ELBA ISLAND
The central theme of the museum is the richness of the mineral deposits found and used on Elba. The exhibit follows a chronological course that begins with the Copper Age and finishes in the Middle Ages.
The materials exhibited come from scientific digs as recent as today as well as occasional finds recovered from the 1800's to the present day that bear witness to the continued human presence on the island from the Copper Age to the Middle Ages. From the rich funerary context of the Grotto of S. Giuseppe (Copper Age), to the remains of Etruscan and Roman furnaces (Cavo) , to the Etruscan Necropoli and Roman Villa of Capo Castello, and finally the medieval village of Monte Serra, the extraction of copper and more important iron demonstrates how strongly tied it was to the lives of the people of the island.
