Tintagel Castle, Cornwall: X-ray Fluorescence analysis of metalworking waste and a pewter ring
Author(s): Florian Stroebele
A small number of objects recovered during the Tintagel Castle Research Project (TCARP2017) excavations in 2017 were sent to Fort Cumberland to determine whether they are associated with any metal working activity that may have taken place at Tintagel Castle. While some of the slag and crucible fragments are likely to be related to metal working activities, there are also a number of undiagnostic slags and fragments of technical ceramics. A small metal ring was found to be made from a lead dominated lead-tin alloy.
