Subject: use of bellows in ancient metallurgy
Dear all,
evidence for the use of bellows appears to be rather scant in the context
of ancient metallurgy. I am aware of the various iconographic and literary
sources as well as the indirect evidence provided by tuyere finds. But:
does anyone know of any archaeologically preserved remains of bellows
themselves?
Many thanks,
Irene
