The geophysical evaluation of British lead and copper working sites. Comparisons with iron working
Recent research at the University of Bradford has been very effective in evaluating early iron‐working sites using geophysical techniques. In addition, lead and copper smelting sites have been surveyed with a fluxgate gradiometer. Although the fluxgate gradiometer readings from these sites are lower than those from iron‐smelting sites it is possible to identify anomalies related to the different smelting methods. The paper provides details of som…
An assessment of the magnetic response of an iron-smelting site
An assessment of the magnetic response of an iron‐smelting site
The magnetic response derived from an iron‐smelting site was investigated by comparing magnetometry and magnetic susceptibility geophysical survey data and laboratory analyses of the magnetic characteristics of the furnace and slags. Magnetic analysis and microscopy (optical and SEM) of samples from the furnace lining and the slag deposits demonstrated the heterogeneity in the magnetic, morphological and mineral compositions of both materials. Th…
The geophysical evaluation of an iron-working complex
Geophysical techniques are often considered to have little application on iron-working sites because the responses from large quantities of iron slag can mask structural remains associated with iron production. This may result in the incomplete or erroneous interpretation of the geophysical data. Geophysical surveys, can, however, identify the strong magnetic anomaly associated with a furnace and in these circumstances have worked well. Slag can …
Conservation of Mining Sites in the Gwydyr Forest Area of the Snowdonia National Park
The Gwydyr Forest near Llanrwst in the Snowdonia National Park contains a significant number of mining remains in an area of some eight square kilometres. These structures provide examples of a whole range of mining and dressing processes from the use of simple hand dressing techniques to the foundations of an early flotation mill. In the recent past, buildings have been needlessly demolished but this process has been partially arrested in the la…
