Abstract
Silver plating technology of the late 3rd century Roman coinage
Kilian Anheuser
Philip France
17 - 23
The discovery in 1998 of a late-third-century AD coin hoard at Rogiet (Monmouthshire) provided the opportunity for a technical study of the plating of the later Roman silver coinage which carried a very thin silver wash over a copper core. Optical metallography and scanning electron microscopy were carried out on taper sections on eight coins. From a comparison of the results with replication specimens it was concluded that the plating was applied in the form of a silvering paste, possibly based on silver chloride. Hot-dipping into molten silver chloride proved to be impractical in the replication experiments and was ruled out. No mercury was detected on any of the coins with EDX analysis in the electron microscope.
A medieval iron smelting site at Stanley Grange, Derbyshire
Keith C Challis
33 - 42
Rescue excavation recorded the remains of part of an extensive medieval iron smelting site at Stanley Grange, Derbyshire. Eight furnaces of late-thirteenth- to early-fourteenth-century date were excavated; it is suggested that the majority of the furnaces may have functioned using induced draught assisted by orientation to the prevailing winds. The paper reviews the results of the excavation and initial scientific analysis of the slags, and offers a preliminary interpretation of the excavated furnaces.
Dud Dudley's contribution to metallurgy
P W King
43 - 53
Article on the career during the seventeenth century of Dud Dudley, the illegitimate son of Lord Dudley, including his experiments in coal- and coke-based metallurgy, and his involvement with a horsemill-powered blast furnace built at Dudley, with which Sir Clement Clerke, a later metallurgical innovator, was also associated.
