EXAMINATION OF SLAGS AND MOULDS FROM DYMOCK, GLOUCESTERSHIRE
Author(s): David Dungworth
Just over 11 kilogrammes of ironworking slag and 5 fragments of ceramic mould were recovered from excavation of the Iron Age and Roman site at Dymock. The ironworking slag assemblage is dominated by tap slag and appears to be almost entirely derived from iron smelting. The mould fragments would have been used to produce small copper alloy artefacts which can be reconstructed as a trumpet brooch, a Colchester derivative brooch, a cone-headed pin and a lunate fitting.
