Characterization of Early Iron-Production Technologies in Chungju, Korea

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the presentation, previous archaeological achievements as well as analytical studies conducted on ironwork sites in Chungju are reviewed. In addition, the early iron production technology in the area can be characterized based on various evidences. Extensive ironworks were conducted at various sites concentrated especially in Chungju. Direct smelting was still the main technology until rather later on. Substantial amounts of tap slag and their analytical features support this idea. In addition, comprehensive studies as to the structure of furnaces and tuyeres used to do ironwork and their technical relationships also need to be discussed. Furthermore, smithing processes, which were mostly conducted at the smelting sites, were also described in detail so that the general ironworking process could be identified.
