Abstract


The starting point of this paper is the description of an experimental iron reduction developed using a reconstruction of a shaft kiln based upon finds dated to the Danish Iron Age. A chemical and archaeological perspective on the experience is given. A metalographical study of the resulting metal was also made, both to check the iron obtained and to get pictures that may be useful in the future investigation of historical pieces of iron.
