At the excavation site, scientists discovered many artifacts, in particular metal parts and blacksmith’s tools.

In South Oxfordshire, archaeologists have discovered an Iron Age blacksmith’s workshop from 770-515 BC. It was reported by Arkeonews.

During the excavation, the DigVentures team also found various items, such as pieces of forge lining, hammers, iron bars and a rare find – an intact tuyere – a nozzle through which the air is blown into a furnace to process the metal.

In addition, not only traces of the building were discovered at the excavation site, but also internal structures, in particular, a specialized hearth and anvil, used to make artifacts.

“It’s an incredible thrill to discover something like this. It really allows us to look back in time and see how one of Britain’s oldest master blacksmiths worked,” said Nat Jackson, director of DigVentures.

One of the experts who analyzed the findings, Gerry McDonnell, emphasized the rarity of an intact tuyere. The fact that it dates from the early centuries of metalworking in Britain gives it significance.

In particular, he noted the size of the nozzle, which indicates a larger, specialized forge than one would find in a typical rural blacksmith’s shop. This indicates serious work, probably handled by a highly skilled and elite blacksmith.
