Resumen: The excavations carried out between 2002 and 2004 at El Morredón, a Late Bronze and Early Iron Age site located in the Huecha valley, Zaragoza, have enabled the site to be revised and its unpublished materials to be studied using new techniques and methodologies. The metallic repertoire of the site is identified with a set of domestic objects, mostly made of bronze, of a reduced typology, in which decorative objects predominate, followed by weapons and working tools. In order to determine the composition of the metallic materials, X-ray fluorescence –xrf– analyses were carried out. The presence of two different alloys has been documented: Cu-Sn binary bronze and Cu-Sn-Pb ternary bronze. This composition points to possible connections with the Lower Ebro and, in turn, with the Southern Meseta, Levante or Andalusia, while the typology of some pieces seems to be linked to the Atlantic or Central European Bronze tradition. The metallurgical production that took place in the settlement itself is another example of the confluence of Mediterranean and Atlantic traditions, which is becoming increasingly clearer and more intense in this area. © 2021 Ediciones Universidad de Salamanca.
