Abstract

The archaeological site of Forua (Bizkaia) corresponds to an iron production centre of the Roman period (1st–3rd centuries AD). The distribution of the workshops joint to the type of slags indicates that correspond to a set of forging furnaces. The micro-textural and mineralogical features of the studied materials allow us to differentiate three groups, two of them correspond to forge slags, while the other group represents the ore mineral. These two types of slag indicate different stages in the production of iron from ferriferous sponge.
