The first cultures known to work with platinum were the indigenous tribes of pre-Columbian Central and South America. Here, platinum was readily found in alluvial deposits within the curved embankments of rivers. When European explorers arrived in the New World, they found that these indigenous cultures had been working with platinum in jewelry and art for hundreds of years.
