Fiskerton, Lincolnshire Corrosion Rates for Modern Experimental Iron Samples Buried Close to the Iron Age Causeway
Author(s): V Fell
Samples of modern experimental iron were buried in the vicinity of the Iron Age causeway at Fiskerton in December 2003 as part of a joint project to assess the effects of rewatering on the Iron Age wooden causeway and artefacts. The samples were recovered at 6, 12, 18 and 30 month burial durations. Corrosion products were characterised by X-ray diffraction analysis and are reported on elsewhere. Corrosion rates for the iron samples are reported on here.
