Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The paper describes the authors' explorations of the process of bloomery smelting in a shaft furnace, and in particular a typical smelt by the most efficient regimen so far discovered. A bloomsmithing experiment is also described, and yields, resources, and labour requirements are quantified. The authors offer some observations of points on which their experience differs from accounts given in the literature, and suggest that these methods may productively be applied to archaeological reconstructions of ancient bloomeries. | ||
