This poster presents a novel approach to studying ancient metal production practices. \u00a0It focuses on a case study of material excavated from the Iron Age settlement at Hengistbury Head, Dorset.\u00a0It shows how using the field of botany can support interpretations on a prehistoric metal production process. On investigating the metallurgical slag recovered at Hengistbury Head an unusual macroscopic inclusion deemed to be plant material was discovered. A sample of the slag with the plant inclusion was investigated looking for phytoliths, microscopic plant remains. Investigating smelting parameters and furnace construction in antiquity is fraught with difficulty. Previously the packing of a furnace with organic matter has been inferred from occasional plant imprints. The phytolith analysis proved that the slag contained microscopic and macroscopic plant remains. This is new evidence and alters the interpretation of how Iron Age furnaces on Hengistbury Head may have been constructed.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>You can view the full poster exhibition and pre-recorded presentations on the\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bournemouth.ac.uk\/study\/postgraduate-research\/researcher-development\/conferences-exhibitions-showcases\"><strong>conference webpage.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If this research has inspired you and you\u2019d like to explore applying for a research degree please visit the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bournemouth.ac.uk\/study\/postgraduate-research\">postgraduate research web pages<\/a> or contact the Doctoral College dedicated <a href=\"mailto:pgradmissions@bournemouth.ac.uk\">admissions team<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 13th Annual Postgraduate Research Conference, hosted by the Doctoral College.
