Intended to introduce archaeologists to finds of technological significance and to stress the aspects essential for a close association between archaeology and early technology, in particular archaeometallurgy. Chapters begin with the field identification of slags and lead on to laboratory investigations (the province of the scientist, though the archaeologist must interpret the scientist's results). Catalogue of selected non-metallurgical slags, copper slags, tin, lead slags, speiss, and iron slags from smelting and smithing is included. (See also <b>AATA</b> <i>17-720</i>) -- AATA
