Abstract
Re-examination of ferrous and non-ferrous metalworking debris from Glastonbury Lake Village
A re-examination of a range of debris from high-temperature industries, recovered from the 1892--1907 excavations, provided further evidence about the ferrous and non-ferrous metalworking at this Late Iron Age site. Most of the slag is thought to relate to ironsmithing, rather than iron smelting; evidence suggests that ironworking was carried out at a low level of intensity. The non-ferrous metalworking evidence demonstrates that copper alloys (probably bronzes) were melted and cast. Two types of crucible were identified, and are likely to have been used for different processes. Another type of ceramic vessel was also examined and may have been used for high temperature purposes. There is no certain evidence for making lead, tin or lead-tin objects.
