5. Geochemical impact of a bloomery : Tracing a bloomery furnace in peat records with geochemistry in central Sweden
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : The aim of this study was to work out whether bloomery activities might have left a geochemical imprint in two mires close to a known bloomery and identify differences between the geochemical signals in the mires. Therefore two peat profiles (140 cm deep) and a series of bulk samples (composite of 10-60 cm) were taken near the remains of a bloomery close to Ängersjö, Hälsingland, which has one documented radiocarbon date of AD 1300-1435.
