Metalurgia precolombina en América
La metalurgia precolombina en América comprende la extracción y purificación de metales, así como la creación de aleaciones metálicas, realizadas con anterioridad al contacto europeo en el siglo XV. Las civilizaciones americanas han usado minerales metálicos locales desde tiempos ancestrales, lo que se evidencia en descubrimientos de artefactos de oro en la región de los Andes entre 2155–1936 a. C. así como en Norteamérica y Mesoamérica se han encontrado herramientas de cobre elaboradas desde el 5000 a. C. Los objetos fabricados en metal variaban desde aquellos destinados a usos ornamentales, como cascabeles y pendientes, instrumentos musicales como campanas, flautas y cimbales, herramientas como punzones, pinzas y anzuelos, hasta armas como hachas, mazas, cuchillos y lanzas.
