The object is a piece of slag of uncertain date. More specifically, this object is tap slag; it was formed during the smelting process when it became necessary to empty the furnace to keep the channels clear. This slag was removed by tapping the furnace, causing it to run out from a hole at the base of the furnace while it was hot. This forms the characteristic ropey-looking surface. The material is dark grey and dense. There are inclusions showing iron corrosion in the base of the object. Though it is not possible to date this object, it was recorded due its proximity to Dere St…

Object type: SLAG
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lump of lead cast-off from the manufacturing process. This material would have been removed from the surface of the molten metal, where the impurities rise during manufacturing. Although difficult to date, it is suggested that this slag could date from the Roman to Medieval periods. The slag fragment weighs 111 gms.

Small piece of white slag, undatable. This piece of slag suggests that metalworking and/or smelting was carried out on site but without any other evidence for metalworking (i.e. pieces of moulds, miscasts, artefacts or fragments thereof) it is almost impossible to suggest a date for the fragment.

Record ID: WAW-78D727
Object type: SLAG
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of Iron bloomery slag. The fragment measures 41.42mm long by 29.63m wide and 14.31mm thick. It weighs 10.4 grams. The fragment of slag feels light for its size, and bears a resemblement to vitrified clay. Air bubbles are present. The process of smelting iron ore to produce iron has not changed much from the Iron Age to the Medieval period, so this piece of bloomery slag could date from any time between the Iron Age (800 BC) to the Medieval Period (1500 AD).

Two pieces of iron slag, the larger measuring 187.9g, 61.62mm wide, 66.44mm long and 40.7mm thick. The smaller weighs 175.9g, 65.92mm wide, 68.20mm long and 45.14mm thick. They are both dark both dark brown in color, although covered in light brown dirty. Both are generally sub-circular in plain and section and have a very rough surface. The smaller of the two has some surface areas that are rounded which may indicate that it is part of a bloom or tap, but it is not clearly indicated.
