Abstract:		 Tin-smelting slag from the medieval (c. 1200 AD) site at Crift Farm in Cornwall was analysed using SEM/EDS. A comparison was made between the chemical composition of this slag, which was produced by a simple hand-blowing technology, and slag from seven tin-working sites of later date which employed a more sophisticated water-powered blowing-house technology. The chemical compositions of areas within single pieces of slag were found to be highly variable, suggesting a highly viscous material with little mixing during smelting. The Crift Farm slag was found to have a chemical composition sufficiently similar to the later `blowing house' slags that it could not be distinguished from them by this method of analysis.
