Description: | large fragment of iron tap slag, created as a by-product of iron smelting; bulbous surface and blue-black in colour, reflecting the manganese which replaces the iron in the slag;
Roman period? or possibly later?
(we know that the iron ore vein was exploited in this area in the post-medieval to modern periods, but this is unlikely to be later than 16th century in date, according to expert analysis under XRF at EH) | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1
