| Abstract: |
| A field investigation was conducted on an ancient smelting site in Datang Village, Xinjian County, Huaihua City, Hunan Province. The archeological analysis of pottery and ceramics excavated from the site revealed that it was an archaeometallurgy site in the Qing Dynasty. Scanning electron microscope spectrometer (SEM-EDS) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) were used to analyze composition and phase of slag and ore unearthed from the site. The results show that the Datang site is a bloomery iron smelting site. The ore used contains titanium magnetite and hematite. The study plays a very important role in understanding social organization structure, production methods, and economics of the area in the Qing Dynasty. |
