THE IRONWORKING RESIDUES FROM ROMSEY, HAMPSHIRE.
Author(s): J G McDonnell
Excavations in the town centre of Romsey have produced large quantities of ironworking slags. The majority of these derive from the iron smelting process. Two technologies have been used, the most characteristic being the slag block or schlackenklotz technology. The smelting slags contained significant manganese oxide percentages. The date of the deposits has not been ascertained but it is proposed that they were of post- Roman date.
