ABSTRACT Reconstructing past anthropogenic influences on forest and woodland resources is an important tool to understand the development of present patterns of land use, and their long-term impacts. Past metallurgical activity undoubtedly consumed significant charcoal, exploiting forest resources for fuel at various stages of metal extraction and processing. This study aimed to quantify this fuel consumption from archaeometallurgical remains, with North Pare as a case study – a prominent centre of precolonial iron production activity in north Tanzania, and a mountainous region subject to considerable erosion processes attributed to changes in forest cover. Archaeometallurgical remains from Pare were examined with bulk chemical analysis, optical microscopy and elemental analysis to reconstruct Pare’s past iron production technologies. The data was interrogated to distinguish the contribution of the fuel ash to the smelting system, with implications for our understanding of past forest degradation processes in relation to metallurgy, reducing reliance on potentially problematic analogy.

探索铁的生产对森林和林地资源的影响:估算炉渣的燃料消耗
摘要重建过去的人为因素对森林和林地资源的影响,是了解当前土地利用方式的发展及其长期影响的重要工具。过去的冶金活动无疑消耗了大量的木炭,在金属提取和加工的各个阶段都利用森林资源作为燃料。这项研究的目的是量化考古冶金遗骸的燃料消耗,以北帕雷森州为例-坦桑尼亚北部一个重要的前殖民地铁生产活动中心,以及一个山区,该地区由于森林覆盖率的变化而遭受了严重的侵蚀过程。通过批量化学分析,光学显微镜和元素分析检查了Pare的考古冶金残留物,以重建Pare过去的钢铁生产技术。
