The database has been conceived and implemented to facilitate spatial analysis based on the objectives of the research into iron production along the Drava River in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. The selected data has been made accessible to the external user via the project’s webpage in the form of a Web-GIS browser.

Around the thermal spring, the Romans built the sanctuary and to its south, a bath complex. The excavations conducted from 2011 to 2015 have shown that in the 2nd century AD a rectangular structure of 8 × 13.5 meters in size was built around the natural hot spring i.e. a reservoir used for catchment, in the same manner as in the Roman settlement of Aquae Sulis (Bath). In order to make the ground suitable for construction oak piles were driven in below the walls before the foundations were laid down, while the terrain was stabilized in and around the reservoir. The walls of the reservoir – “sacred spring”, were built of large stone slabs, employing the opus quadratum technique. The walls were repaired in the 4th century AD using older inscriptions, reliefs, and even sculptures as regular construction material (more than 50 stone monuments were found). The spring itself contained more than 17,000 Roman coins left as votive offerings. Most of the finds were in a very bad condition because of the detrimental effects of sulphur water, which calls for rather complex conservation approach.

This contribution presents a sequence of research procedures that served as a basis for the design and implementation of experiments related to bloomery iron production procedures. A proposal for the method of documentation is made with the aim of combining all general functional parameters relevant to the procedures of ore preparation and direct process of reduction in the reconstruction of a smelting furnace, based on personal experiences and the current state of experimental research related to iron production. The objective is to give a structured basic template of main parameters that should be recorded and reported when performing experiments related to the mentioned procedures. The hope is to bring forward a layout th...

Systematic archaeological excavations on four sites have indicated that iron was being actively produced in this area using local resources during Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages, from the 4th/5th century to the 8th/9th. Structures and formations interpreted through the archaeological record indicate that different activities or phases of the chain of operations were carried out within organized units, workshops for the production and/or processing of bloomery iron.
