| Abstract [eng] |
A small lump composed of separate cast iron trickles has been discovered during the archaeological investigations of an ancient iron production site in Lieporiai vicinity (Šiauliai district, Lithuania) dating from the 4th to the beginning of the 7th c. AD. A number of peculiarities of this interesting finding, emphasizing its distinction from bloomery iron and even from common cast iron, have been revealed. The results of metallographic examination and the analyses of chemical composition of the lump are presented in the paper. |
