摘要
This paper discusses the origin of early use and production technology of iron in Tibet through the analysis of the iron objects and slags excavated from the Kaji cemetery at the Piyangdongga site, Xizang, China. The results of metallographic and elemental studies provide the first and earliest evidence of bloomery smelting technology in Tibet as early as the third century AD. The iron smelting technology and excavated iron objects belong to the “Northwest System” and are related closely to Xinjiang.
