  Rezumat:  The Morvan Massif represents the north-easternmost part of the French Central Massif (Fig. 1). Morvan or “Dark Mountain” in the old Celtic language has a long lasting history. It was used as the territory of the Aeduan people before Caesar’s conquest of Gaul (Gallic war: 58-51 B.C.). This ancient people, who had their capital city at Bibracte, in the central part of the Morvan Massif, were very famous for their remarkable bronze and iron craftwork. Approximately 140 iron mining sites dating back to Aeduan times were identified in the Northern Morvan (Mangin et al., 1992). By contrast, no evidence of ancient mining has been found in the Southern Morvan, until recently (Guillaumet, 2001; Tămaş, 2004; Cauuet and Boussicault, 2005; Cauuet et al., 2006c), except some traces of metal processing. The presence of iron mining sites indicates that the Morvan Massif has a mining tradition and furthermore, most likely this tradition did not involve exclusively iron ores exploitation.

Key words: ancient mines, metals, ore deposits, Morvan Massif, France
