La Alcudia

The Barrington Atlas Directory notes: La Alcudia, Valle de Alcudia, S and E Puertollano.

In Domergue's (1990) survey of mines in Iberia, La Alcudia is treated as a regional heading and not as a distinct, single place in a discussion of the mining installations in Iberia at the end of the Roman Republic . Domergue (1990, 190) lists a number of mines as being in this area, all of which were producing lead and silver; one mine on the list also produces copper in addition to the aforementioned materials. These mines are: Quinto del Hierro, Puerto de Niefla, San Pablo, Río Valmayor, Diógenes, Rio Robledillo, S. Quintin, and Las Minillas. In discussing mines following the Cantabrian wars (25-19 BCE), Domergue (1990, 202) adds additional sites to the catalogue for La Alcudia. In addition to continuing to exploit sources of silver and lead, mercury is also being mined. The additional mines are as follows: Las Cuevas, Guadalperal, San Pablo, and Diógenes.
