Metal Summary

204

205

Both bronze and iron were recovered this season in T24, as well as evidence of metal production slag, crucible, forno fragments, and possible bellows pipe.

A small amount of bronze flakes were bagged at the end of the season from each stratum and stored with the bone from the trench.  As none of the strata were completely excavated this season, it is difficult to ascertain which, if any, stratum produced a larger quantity of metals.
