Abstract: |
Salvage recording undertaken along a pipeline trench near the scheduled site of Ariconium, previously known as a major focus of Roman iron smelting, produced over 220kg of ironworking debris and uncovered the base of a furnace. Visual examination of the slag showed the main activity to have been iron smelting, but some smithing, probably only to consolidate the bloom, was also carried out at the site. A small quantity of atypical non-ferrous metalworking debris was analysed by x-ray fluorescence analysis which showed that bronze had been melted. |
