During research into settlements and secular as well as sacred buildings in the mining environment, archaeologists sooner or later come across finds that have analogies exclusively in mining regions. This follows from the practical needs of the inhabitants, who worked with products associated with specific jobs such as the mining of ores, their testing, modification or smelting. In addition, mining communities kept extensive trade and cultural contacts with other, more distant mining regions.
