    Smelting Iron from Laterite: Technical Possibility or Ethnographic Aberration? T. O. PRYCE AND S. NATAPINTU introduction Laterites deposits (orlateriticsoilsastheyarealsocalled)arefrequently reported in Southeast Asia, and are ethnographically attested to have been used for the smelting of iron in the region (Abendanon 1917 in Bronson 1992:73; Bronson and Charoenwongsa 1986), as well as in Africa (Gordon and Killick 1993; Miller and Van Der Merwe 1994). The present authors do not dispute this evidence; we merely wish to counsel cautioninitsextrapolation.Modifyingour understanding of a population’s potential to locally produce their own iron has immediate ramifications for how we reconstruct ancient metal distribution net- works, and the social exchanges that have facilitated them since iron’s generally agreed appearance in Southeast Asian archaeological contexts during the mid-first millennium b.c. (e.g., Bellwood 2007:268; Higham 1989:190). We present this paper as a wholly constructive critique of what appears to be a prevailingperspectiveonpre-modernSoutheastAsianironmetallurgy.Wehave tried to avoid technical language and jargon wherever possible, as our aim is to motivate scholars working within the regiontogivefurtherconsiderationtoiron as a metal, as a technology, and as a socially significant medium (e.g., Appadurai 1998; Binsbergen 2005; Gosden and Marshall 1999). When writing a critique it is of course necessary to cite researchers with whom one disagrees, and we have done this with full acknowledgment that in modern archaeology no one person can encompass the entire knowledge spectrum of the discipline.1 The archaeome- tallurgy of iron is probably on the periphery of most of our colleagues’ interests, but sometimes, within the technical, lies the pivotal, and in sharing some of our insights we hope to illuminate issues of benefit to all researchers in Metal Age Southeast Asia.

This paper discusses the place and role of metallurgical clusters in the development of environmental engineering. The paper is based on research materials on the development of environmental engineering and the features of the functioning of metallurgical clusters. The paper studies the development of ferrous metallurgy, development trends, and developmental features of city-forming organizations of ferrous metallurgy. The main existing areas for development of metallurgical clusters and the relevance of environmental engineering development are shown. 1 Introduction At the present stage of development, metal as the main structural material ensures the production and scientific and technological development of the sectors of the national economy. Ferrous metallurgy is one of the key industries, the largest consumers of which are mechanical engineering, metalworking, construction industry, automotive industry, machine tool industry, and rail transport.

  • Notes on the History of Iron in Thailand Bennet Bronson *
    205 Notes on The History of Iron in Thailand Bennet Bronson * INTRODUCTION ·When a general history of the use of metals in Thailand is written, the chapters on iron are likely to focus on two topics. One of these has already aroused lively interest among archaeologists and historians of technology: the question of the date when iron in Southeast Asia first came into use. The other, though, scarcely yet recognized as a problem for research, is equally puzzling and interesting: the question of the date when and the reasons why the original one-stage or "direct" process of ironmaking was replaced by the two-stage "indirect" process. The latter appears to have been unknown in Thailand during the periods usually studied by archaeologists. Yet it was dominant there by the time that historical sources first took notice of such things. In the 17th-18th centuries, the complex but efficient indirect ironmaking process was still unknown in most parts of the world. There were only three exceptions: Western Europe, Eastern Asia, and Thailand. This paper essays a preliminary treatment of both topics. The first section discusses the earliest iron in Thailand and neighboring regions. The second outlines the distribution of ·and the technical differences between the direct and indirect processes, suggesting that in its preference for the former, early Thailand is more like South As.ia and the Middle East than like China. The third presents archaeological evidence indicating that the direct process was the only one known in Southeast Asia in ancient times. The fourth presents historical evidence showing that a change had occurred by the 17th or 18th century, that ironmakers in Thailand (but not in the rest of Southeast Asia) had shifted to the indirect process.

  • New Revised Draft/Final Version
    The Prehistoric Origins of European Economic Integration George Grantham McGill University In recent decades the conventional dating of the origins of Western Europe’s economic ascendancy to the tenth and eleventh centuries AD has been called in question by archaeological findings and reinterpretations of the early medieval texts indicating significantly higher levels of material prosperity in Antiquity than conventional accounts consider plausible. On the basis of that evidence it appears likely that at its peak the classical economy was almost as large as that of Western Europe on the eve of the Industrial Revolution.1 Population estimates have also been revised upward. Lo Caschio has shown that the conventional estimates of the Italian population that Beloch extracted from late Republican and Augustan censuses to form the foundation of his much-cited conjectural estimate of the population of the Roman Empire significantly underreport the true population.2 That critique is supported by recent archaeological findings indicating that in the more fertile districts of southern Britain and northern Gaul rural population density in the Late Iron Age and the Roman period was as high as in the late seventeenth- century.3 As skeletal evidence shows no significant difference in body size as between 1 For a review of the evidence and its significance for modeling the pre-industrial economy, see George Grantham, ‘Contra Ricardo: On the macroeconomics of Europe’s agrarian age,’ European review of economic history 3 (1999), 199-232. 2 Elio Lo Caschio, ‘The size of the Roman population: Beloch and the meaning of the Augustan census figures,’ Journal of roman studies 84 (1994) pp.

  • Two Iron Technology Diffusion Routes in Eastern Europe
    328 Archeologické rozhledy LXX–2018 328–334 Two iron technology diffusion routes in Eastern Europe Dvě trasy šíření znalosti zpracování železa ve východní Evropě Vladimir I. Zavyalov – Nataliya N. Terekhova Archaeometallographic data suggest that there were two technological models in Eastern Europe as early as the Bronze Age–Early Iron Age transition period (9th–7th centuries BC). We link their development to two routes via which knowledge of use of ferrous metals diffused from Anatolia. The first route reached the North Caucasus, the second route passed through Greece and the Balkans to Central and Eastern Europe. archaeometallography – Eastern Europe – ferrous metals – transition period Archeometalografická data naznačují, že již v přechodu mezi dobou bronzovou a ranou dobou železnou (9.–7. stol. př. n. l.) existovaly ve východní Evropě dva technologické modely zpracování železa. Jejich rozvoj spojujeme se dvěma trasami, kterými se znalosti užívání železných kovů z Anatolie rozšířily. První trasa překročila Zakavkazsko, druhá trasa vedla přes Řecko a Balkán do střední a východní Evropy. archeometallografie – východní Evropa – železné kovy – přechodné období The issue of emergence and spread of ferrous metallurgy is still relevant despite the fact that it has been on the research agenda for quite a long time. L. Morgan (1935, 28) argued that ‘The production of iron was the event of events in human experience, without a par- allel, and without an equal, besides which all other inventions and discoveries were in- considerable, or at least subordinate’. Most researchers tend to believe that telluric iron production originated in Anatolia. The region had all basic preconditions, such as focused and systematic search of ore min- erals; understanding properties of minerals which could be turned to metal; pyrotechno- logical structures; use of artificial blowing to achieve high temperatures (when smelting); charring of wood (Waldbaum 1978, 23).
