Two Types of Iron Smelting Furnaces in Ancient Mongolia

Article Preview

Abstract:

We excavated the Iron smelting furnaces, belonging to the Xiongnu Age (209BCE-155CE), in Mongolia. These furnaces can be divided into three types by structures. By the stratigraphic research and the radioactive carbon dating of charcoal, the transition from Type 3 to Type1 occurred from late BC1c. to around the beginning of AD1c.
