THE CLASSIFICATION AND INTERPRETATION OF TIN SMELTING REMAINS FROM SOUTH WEST ENGLAND A study of the microstructure and chemical composition of tin smelting slags from Devon and Cornwall, and the effect of technological developments upon the character of slags. Volume I of II Albertine MALHAM BSc (Hons), MPhil submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Archaeological Sciences University of Bradford 2010 Albertine MALHAM THE CLASSIFICATION AND INTERPRETATION OF TIN SMELTING REMAINS FROM SOUTH-WEST ENGLAND KEYWORDS: Tin Smelting Blowing house Slag Furnace Devon Cornwall Medieval Post-medieval Artefacts relating to tin smelting from tin mills or ‘blowing houses’ in Devon and Cornwall, plus material from smelting sites that cover a range of dates from the Bronze Age through to the 19th Century, were examined: these include metallic tin, furnace linings, ore samples and slag. Analysis of tin slags from over forty sites was carried out, to determine microstructure and chemical composition. Techniques employed included optical and scanning electron microscopy, X-ray fluorescence and ICP mass spectrometry. Analysis indicates that slag appearance and composition are heavily influenced by local geology. Composition, particularly iron content, is shown to have a strong effect on slag melting point and viscosity, and the implications for the purity of metal produced are discussed. Bringing together the evidence provided by slag chemistry, documentary sources and smelting remains in the archaeological record, changes in tin smelting technology through time, and the consequences thereof, are considered. i Table of Contents VOLUME I Page No Abstract i Table of Contents ii List of Figures ix Acknowledgements xviii CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1: Introduction 1 1.2: Previous Work 4 1.2.1: Tin slag 4 1.2.2: Tin Ores 15 1.2.3: Furnace Linings 19 1.2.4: Tin Metal 19 1.3: The Geological Setting 24 1.3.1: Tin Minerals 24 1.3.2: Tin Deposits: Veins, Shoad and Stream Tin 24 1.3.3: Impurities in Tin Ores 30 1.4: Historical Background 31 1.4.1: The Bronze Age (c.2500 BC to c.700 BC) 31 1.4.2: The Iron Age (c.700 BC to AD 43) 44 1.4.3: The Romano-British Period (AD 43 to AD 450) 54 1.4.4: The Dark Ages (AD 450 to AD 1000) 66 1.4.5: The Mediaeval Period (AD 1000 to AD 1500) 74 1.4.5.1: Documentary Evidence for Tinworking 74 1.4.5.2: Methods of Ore Extraction 87 ii 1.4.5.3: Smelting 91 1.4.6: The Post-mediaeval Period (AD 1500 to AD 1700) 102 1.4.6.1: Production from the 16th Century 102 1.4.6.2: Methods of Ore Extraction 106 1.4.6.3: Ore Processing 111 1.4.6.4: Smelting 117 1.4.7: The 18th and 19th Centuries (AD 1700 to AD 1900) 145 1.4.7.1: Production from the 18th Century 145 1.4.7.2: Ore Extraction 148 1.4.7.3: Ore Processing 151 1.4.7.4: Smelting in the 18th and 19th Centuries 154 The Blowing House Blast Furnace 155 Furnace Design 155 The Blowing Process 161 The Reverberatory Furnace 164 Reverberatory Furnace Design 165 The Reverberatory Smelting Process 175 1.4.7.5: The Distribution of 18th and 19th Century Smelting 182 Sites 1.4.7.6: Archaeological Evidence for 18th and 19th Century 184 Tin Smelting 1.4.8: 20th Century to Present Day 186 CHAPTER 2: EXPERIMENTAL METHODOLOGY 2.1: Collection of Samples 189 2.1.1: Tin Slag 191 2.1.2: Tin Ores 203 iii 2.1.3: Furnace Wall Material 204 2.1.4: Tin Metal 206 2.2: Methods of Analysis 207 2.2.1: Analysis of Slags 207 2.2.2: Analysis of Ores 208 2.2.3: Analysis of Furnace Wall and Lining Materials 210 2.2.4: Analysis of Metallic Tin 211 2.3: Assessment of Analytical Techniques 213 2.3.1: X-Ray Fluorescence 213 2.3.2: Energy Dispersive Scanning Electron Microscopy 214 2.3.3: Induction Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry 216 2.3.4: X-Ray Diffraction 218 CHAPTER 3: RESULTS 3.1: Results of Slag Analysis 220 3.1.1: Physical Characteristics of Tin Smelting Slags 220 3.1.2: Optical Microscopy of Slags 224 3.1.3: Imaging of Slags using the Scanning Electron Microscope 230 3.1.4: Compositional Analysis of Slags 243 3.1.4.1: Bulk Analysis of Slag 243 3.1.4.2: Analysis of Slag Phases 286 Flow Bands 286 Feathery/Needle-like Phases 288 Dendrites 289 Crystalline Phases 291 Isolated Crystals 295 3.1.4.3: Analysis of Mineral Inclusions 297 iv 3.1.4.4: Analysis of Metallic Prills 299 3.1.5: Investigation of Melting Range and Viscous Behaviour 311 3.2: Results of Ore Analysis 314 3.2.1: Description of Ore Samples 314 3.2.2: Chemical Analysis of Ore Samples 316 Scanning Electron Microscopy 316 Laser Ablation ICPMS 323 X-ray Diffraction 330 3.2.3: Summary of Ore Analysis 339 3.3: Results of Furnace Wall Material Analysis 341 3.3.1: Physical Characteristics of Furnace Wall Material 341 3.3.2:.
