It was recently pointed out to me that the formatting of the ongoing documentation for the Experimental Iron Smelting I have undertaken since 2001 was far too chaotic for the 'modern' viewer.
For this reason I am re-formatting the organization of the entire web presentation.
The new formatting is cleaner, with no backgrounds. There are now separate brake downs into specific topic / series collections.
The original format is still present.
The intent of all this (considerable!) work is to make the presented data and commentaries more easily accessible for current generation researchers specifically.
Worth repeating that Neil Peterson and I have decided to make available the raw data from the bloomery iron smelt tests openly available. This consists of 55 individual variables for each of 100 experiments. Data tables are also sorted into specific topic areas.
Experimental Bloomery Iron Smelting DATA
The Iron Smelting portion of the overall Wareham Forge web site is comprised of over 3,000 individual file elements, totaling 460 MB. It has grown organically since it was first published in April of 2006.
