EXAMINATION OF SLAG AND OTHER METALWORKING DEBRIS FROM FOSSE LANE SHEPTON MALLET, SOMERSET, 1990
Author(s): D Starley
Examination of the Romano-British settlement produced about 50kg of slag. A large proportion of this was tap slag from the smelting of iron, together with some debris diagnostic of iron smithing. Most of the material had been recovered during the cleaning of the site following top-soil stripping, rather than from the stratigraphically excavated areas. There would appear to be no connection between the metalworking debris and the hearths excavated on the site.
