TECHNOLOGICAL SAMPLES FROM SLOUGH HOUSE FARM AND CHIGBOROUGH FARM, ESSEX.
Author(s): R A Ball
Over 40 kg of slag and other technological samples were recovered from the excavations carried out in 1988/89 at Slough House Farm and around 0.4 kg from Chigborough Farm. Most of the evidence for the pre-Saxon period was limited to small-scale iron smithing, with the possible addition of some salt production evidence from Chigborough Farm. The finds from the Saxon period at Slough House Farm were mainly evidence for smelting of iron, possibly debris from a third site at Rook Hall.
