Metalworking Debris from Cripplegate Buildings (WFG 18), City of London

Author(s): Justine Bayley

Excavations of parts of the Roman fort at Cripplegate shortly after World War II also retrieved a well-dated assemblage of material from the early 17th century infilling of the city ditch. This included crucibles, distillation vessels, a bone ash cupel and other ceramic vessels and slags. A selection of these finds were analysed qualitatively by XRF to determine the metals being worked.
