Diagrams and descriptions of deep, complex silver-mines and gold-mines with multiple shafts, ventilation, drainage, galleries? Tons. Diagrams of opencast iron pit mines? Descriptions in the sources? Lot harder to find!

(To be clear, opencast mines from the pre-modern period. I am aware it is very easy to find pictures of modern mines)

What time period? I'm wondering how much is bias towards prestige goods and how much is bias towards currency.

Craddock (1995) has a very similar flow-chart for copper . In this case the issue wasn't explanations (I understand the process quite well), but images to be able to show my readers. I especially prefer period images, rather than later reconstructions, which makes it harder.
