| Description | Finds of slag from Olomouc-Neředín are the earliest documented traces of bloomery smelting in Moravia. Lahn-Dill-type ore was mainly processed, which had to be transported from a distance of 20–25 km. Radiocarbon dating of carbonised wood that came from slag points to the beginning of the Hallstatt period; it can however be assumed that production took place in the Late Hallstatt period or, rather, Early La Tene, and that the ‘old-wood’effect was reflected in the radiocarbon dating. |
