The southeastern Hubei mining area was a major source of copper, lead, and tin, the primary elements of bronze alloy in Bronze-Age China. Chinese archaeologists and archaeometallurgists have impressively reconstructed the chaînes opératoires of miners and metalworkers, however, there have been few attempts to investigate the lives of miners and the mining community.
