Abstract: |
The examination of a selection of ironworking slags from a prehistoric context demonstrates that they were produced during the smelting of iron ore. The slag lumps lack diagnostic morphological features which might allow a detailed reconstruction of the furnace and how it was operated. The chemical composition and microstructure of the slags show parallels with prehistoric material from the site of Thorpe Lea, Surrey. |
