Abstract
The metallurgical examination of a Bronze Age gold torc from Shropshire
Janet Lang
Nigel Meeks
I M McIntyre
17 - 20
The (unprovenanced) twisted-bar coiled torc was found to have been made from one melt of gold (81%, gold, 16%, silver, 3% copper). It was evidently made from a square-sectioned bar cut and formed, not by joining separate strips. The composition of the solder was close to that of the body metal and would have required very careful temperature control. Au(abr)
Cylindrical shaft furnaces of the early Wealden Iron industry: circa 100 BC to AD 300
J Gibson-Hill
21 - 27
A provisional five-fold classification of these furnaces is based on fifty-eight examined at Broadfield and twelve at Holbeanwood (both Sussex). Several 14C dates have been obtained. Types A and D have parallels elsewhere in Roman Britain.
The carbon reduction of fully oxidized chalcopyrite (copper) ores
William Rostoker
M Sadowski
38 - 42
It has been generally supposed that ancient copper smelting of iron-containing sulphide ores followed some crude version of the matte smelting process. However, this seems too complex to have been the first method. A process is described and analysed whereby the ore can be smelted to metal in a simple two-stage process not very different technologically from that of carbon reduction of oxidic minerals. This earlier process may have lapsed because the matte smelting approach, as practised, offered a route to the recovery of precious metals. Au(abr)
The operation of charcoal blast furnaces in Sussex in the early 18th century

Transcript of a MS by John Fuller, iron founder of Rose Hill (now Brightling) Park, Sussex. It gives more detail than other MSS, and indicates a concern to avoid unnecessary consumption of raw materials and to achieve smooth production.
