Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Briquetage, the process of salt-making, is discussed with examples from the Iron Age of NW Europe and some other cultures. The process is only archaeologically detectable when fire has been used in the evaporation process and mould fragments remain; a variety of these is figured. In England salt-making appears to be a Continental introduction during the Iron Age and it develops further during the Roman period, in contrast to the Continental experience where sun-evaporated salt became available. Salt may have had cultural significance, for instance in gift-exchange, in addition to its economic use.
