Well I've not posted any photos here for ages as I have been busy at work on my dissertation, for which I am studying post medieval antimony smelting in Cornwall. This is a scan of a cross section of one of the slag blocks. From this I cut small bits (no larger than a couple of cm), mount in a resin block and then analyse in a scanning electron microscope to determine the composition and therefore better understand the technical choices made by the smelters in the past. This photo contains Notes and/or Portals. To view, please move your mouse over the photo above. Comments GmorG_McRoth 2 months, 2 weeks ago: Looks kinda like a cake I once made. Dialogue Mattnic 2 months, 2 weeks ago: Cool, I like the idea of making cake versions of archaeological artifacts... tho I hope your cake had a considerably lower arsenic component than my slag...
