Abstract: |
A range of materials and artefacts from the excavation of an historical blast furnace, believed to have been adapted to use coke rather than charcoal, were examined. Techniques included metallography, x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis and scanning electron microscope (SEM) based energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDXA). Analysis confirmed the use of coke for smelting iron on the site and suggested that bloomery slag was used as a supplementary source of iron. |
