Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Uses data from excavations and field survey of Roman ironmaking sites in the Weald of SE Britain to assess the effect on an ancient landscape of ore mining and deforestation to provide charcoal as fuel for smelting. It is calculated that operations on six of the largest sites would have resulted in the clearance in a little over one century of 300-500 km2 of forest and ore exploitation over an equivalent area. Data from experiments in reconstructed Roman furnaces and from modern primitive ironmaking are used to assess the probable manning requirements of individual furnaces, settlements, and the entire military operation in this part of the Weald.
