THE IRONWORKING SLAGS FROM NORTH CAVE, NORTH HUMBERSIDE.
Author(s): J G McDonnell
The Iron Age settlement site of North Cave, North Humberside, lies on the western escarpment of the Yorkshire Wolds. A large quantity of iron working slag was recovered from a small area of the site. The majority of the slag derived from the smelting process and contained about 1% manganese oxide (bulk analysis). The smelting slag derived from a furnace that was either raked out or in which the slag was allowed to cool. This technology has been identified on a number of other Iron Age sites.
