	U.S. Geological Survey Plasenzuela Project - More than broken jars and roof tiles, the environmental legacy of a Roman ...
		It is intriguing to speculate that Roman and even earlier metallurgists might have recognized this manner of metal loss and sought to reduce it.
		The metal was placed in a shallow open basin or ceramic bowl (the cupel) in a furnace and a strong blast of air blown across the surface of the molten metal.
		Though Plasenzuela is a relatively small mining district, even by Roman terms, its relative simplicity compared to the enormous and complex wastes of other ancient mining districts in the Iberian peninsula make it an excellent place to begin seeking an understanding of mining and metallurgical waste behavior over extended time.
