Coles East Germanic Ironmaking in the Roman Period: Archaeometry of Slag and Ore Finds in the Przeworsk Culture at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Making a study of East Germanic iron smelting in the Roman period, this book gives an in-depth account of the development of metallurgy in the Przeworsk Culture. Its two main ironmaking centres - the Holy Cross Mountains and Masovia - were the largest iron production regions beyond the borders of the Roman Empire. Apart from serving local demand - where it was used for artefacts of many kinds, which are abundantly found in grave furnishings - a considerable part of Przeworsk Culture iron is likely to have been exported to other territories. Despite more than 60 years of research and scholarship on Przeworsk Culture iron metallurgy, this is the first book to carry out smelting slag and ore analyses using the most up-to-date methods available in archaeological science. More specifically, this study also applies a variety of statistical methods to the results of the elemental analyses of nearly 270 smelting slag and ore samples from its territory. Offering an overview of statistical approaches used in iron provenance studies and a detailed step-by-step research methodology, this book paves the way for future studies, including artefact provenance analyses using the latest archaeometric methods. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
