Compared to the Greeks, Roman science was applied and practical, with little interest in theory and speculation about the true nature of things. Great uncritical treatises were written by writers such as A. Cornelius Celsus and Pliny, consolidating current biological knowledge (and error).

When the Rio Tinto Company Limited (hereafter normally abbreviated as RTC) started its operations in 1873, there must have been some evidence of mining prior to entry of the Romans. Unfortunately, little notice seems to have been taken of such evidence, the staff being fully involved in the exciting new activities, and it was probably obliterated.

Native copper was probably the first discovery at Rio Tinto by man using metals. It would be produced from the copper sulphate in acid drainage waters by reduction with sugars from decaying vegetable matter. Such native copper would have been found in filamentous or lace-like form, requiring consolidation into artefacts, such as pins and fish hooks, by
