The archaic manufactured iron remains such as slags, pieces of broken furnacl walls and tuyeries were excavated at the fortified border station called Fuwa which had existed during the eighth century in Gifu prefecture, Japan. In the paper, the disposition of the kind of work done in the eighth century was Considered, regarding these remains, with the modern metallorgical techniques. The results is that at this ruin forging and casting was predominant rather than smelting of iron. This led to the presumption that this ruin might be the small archaic weapon manufacturing work shop attached to the Fortified Border Station.
