摘要

From the seventh to the eleventh centuries A.D., Sri Lanka was united under the strong central administration of Sinhalese Buddhist kings. Archeologists know this as the island's Classic Period. And one of its main industries during that period, it now seems, was high-quality steel. In the iron-rich hills of southern Sri Lanka, archeol-ogist Gill Juleff of University College, London, has discovered 77 sites where iron was worked- and in a particularly ingenious way, as she reported last January. From excavations and experiments, Juleff has found that Sinhalese ironworkers did not have to wear themselves out pumping the bellows. Their furnaces allowed monsoon winds to fan the flames.
