ASSESSMENT OF METALWORKING MATERIAL FROM STOUR STREET, CANTERBURY, KENT 1986 EXCAVATIONS

Author(s): C Mortimer

A 25% sample of the ferrous and non-ferrous metalworking debris from Roman and later contexts was examined. Most of the diagnostic material was from ironsmithing during the Roman period; ironsmithing was also carried out in the post-medieval period. Fired clay and vitrified hearth/furnace linings may relate to these or to other high-temperature processes which took place on or near the site. Eight fragments from medieval crucibles were compared with examples from other sites in the town.
