Gold mining style in eighteenth century slave operated mines

The historiography of mines is closely related to economic and technical demands of the mining activity in Portuguese America. We seek to relate technique and Law (criminal and common) emphasizing that the latter substantiates the dynamics or evolution of the mining practices. We still cover labor relations incorporated in the gold extraction units, i.e., the diverse manners of association to gold lodes.
