本文详细描述了公元前400年左右在尼日利亚塔鲁加出土的13座火炉，并将其建造和操作的特点与其他地方的文献进行了比较。这项研究表明，尼日利亚的炼铁知识是从其他地方传播过来的；也许是北非，尤其是迦太基。对在塔鲁加发现的两种矿石和矿渣的分析表明，这些矿石的混合物构成了炉料。据报道，对该遗址的几件小型铁器进行了金相检查，保存完好的状态被认为是尼日利亚这一地区有利的土壤和气候特征的特征。参见(6)-H4-173。——AATA
Thirteen furnaces from around 400 B.C., excavated at Taruga, Nigeria, are described in detail and features of their construction and operation are compared with those documented in other locations. From this study it is suggested that the knowledge of iron working in Nigeria diffused from elsewhere; perhaps North Africa and in particular from Carthage. Analyses of two ore types and of the slag found at Taruga indicate that a mixture of these ores formed the furnace charge. Metallographic examination of several small iron artifacts from the site is reported, the excellent state of preservation being taken as a feature of the favourable soil and climate characteristics in this part of Nigeria.
