Stanwick, Northamptonshire: Assessment of Industrial Debris

Author(s): David Dungworth

The excavations at Stanwick recovered 97kg of slag and other industrial debris. The range of debris types identified indicates that smithing took place. The extent of the area excavated and the duration of past occupation suggest that this was a relatively minor activity. The ironworking residues are not uniformly distributed with a single context providing over 25% of all the ironworking residues. The vitrified fuel ash residues identified are not waste from an industrial process; however, the formation process(es) for this sort of material are not well understood.
