Beyond the Bloom: Bloom refining and iron artifact production in the Roman world
David Sim and Isabel Ridge
The book describes a series of experiments carried out in order to replicate the working environment of a Roman blacksmith, by using tools and equipment as close to originals as possible. The results provide a database that will enable archaeologists to compare evidence found in archaeological records with the experiment results.
