Iron Age / Roman slag
Burnt deposits associated with the multiple hearths of Building B were righ in fuel ash slag, ash, charcoal and comminute fired clay. Fuel ash slag is not typically generated in metalworking hearths. It is not characteristic of any particular process, but indicates a hearth, particularly one cut into an unconsolidated substrate, that has spent a considerable time at elevated temperature.
Recovered from a layer of silty clay post-dating the use of Building B.
