Does It Smelt? Re-Smelting Iron Scraps in a Shaft Furnace
Written by Chris Busuttil and Dr. Zech Jinks-Fredrick
My colleague, Dr. Zech Jinks-Fredrick, and myself, Chris Busuttil, decided to embark on a project of discovery. Our project was designed as a control experiment to determine the feasibility of re-smelting iron scrap in a prehistoric furnace. This topic has been widely debated within the British archaeological community, especially in conversations regarding the motives of hoarding iron objects.
