IDENTIFICATION OF THE SLAG FROM SPONG HILL, NORFOLK.
Author(s): Justine Bayley
A total of about 13 kg of slag was found, of which some 6 kg came from features that could be dated. There is evidence for iron smelting using a tapping furnace in late Roman times (only the second Norfolk site with definite Roman tap slag) and for iron smithing in early Saxon times.
