Iron is an important metal that has influenced the march of civilization over at least 5000 years and it has been in the service of man from the dawn of time. The ancient scriptures and legends have extensive references to the use of iron. The discovery of iron dates back to as early as 1200 BC. The first form of iron known to ancient man was wrought iron. The Iron Age in India is denoted as the Indus Valley Civilization. The author presents in this monograph: the distribution of iron ore, the iron age in the Tamil Nadu area, literary references to iron, the iron and steel production centers, the types of furnaces that were in use, and the techniques employed to produce iron and wootz steel employing crucible process by ancient and post-medieval communities of South India, particularly in Tamil Nadu, and most importantly metallurgical study of the iron objects found during excavation at these sites. This monograph illustrated with a map, ten-line drawings which include two graphs, twelve tables, and 102 multicolor photographs in 40 pages is bound to be useful to archaeologists, metallurgists, historians, and the general public interested in the development of metallurgical science in India.

This book presents a comprehensive history of Iron Technology in India. It covers the long span of Indian history stretching over roughly three and a half millennia from the first half of the second millennium BCE to pre-modern times. One can trace the development of iron technology from the humble beginnings in a chalcolithic milieu followed by the technological evolution reaching the peaks of iron technology of the colossal structures of the Delhi Iron Pillar weighing several tons by early centuries of the Christian Era. The metallurgical expertise and the ingenuity of artisans find expression in the production of wootz steel swords with their intriguing rippling patterns. These swords and daggers were highly prized in the ancient world. They were marketed by the enterprising sailors of the Middle East at lucrative profits. The sword of Tipu Sultan is indeed a legend. The iron and steel industry in India was flourishing till the eighteenth-nineteenth century CE. The quality of the product was superior enough to be prized by the European world, viz. by the Dutch, the Spanish and the British up to pre-modern times. Iron produced at Tendukhera was imported by Britain to be used in bridges across Menai Strait and also in the London Bridge. However; one perceives a decline in traditional iron industry during the British period. Iron working could manage to survive till a few decades back among the ethnic societies who had been engaged in it for generations. The book incorporates results of a first-hand study of these traditional iron-workers, who may be termed as bearers of the legacy which had a glorious past but a very uncertain future.

This volume highlights the extraordinary richness, diversity, and extensive distribution of iron ores in India, along with the equally rich, diverse, and widely scattered preindustrial tradition of iron and steel manufacture. Archaeologically, Chakrabarti demonstrates how by c. 1000 B.C. the major areas of the subcontinent passed into a full-fledged Iron Age, and how the process must be considered to have begun around the middle of the second millenium B.C. This book shows how the antiquity of Indian steel-making and examines literary sources which throw light on the use of iron in Indian agriculture.
