Dear Ann

Incredible details! Thank you very much. Actually you gave me reading material for a week, because English is not my language and I will need a lot of dictionaries to decipher the terminology.

The address you mention for more info is not working. I think the right one is http://home.att.net/~moltenmuse/index.htm

Is it possible to give us a timeline? When the production of traditional crucible steel (wootz) stopped in India, Persia or Uzbekistan? I suppose that this happened in late 200 years but do we have witness of a workshop, let’s say in 1850?

YANNIS:
English is my native language (with a little Southern draw ) and it will take me more than a week to completely understand (yeah right) Dr. Ann threads.
However it is just great stuff, and we of the forum should be happy

to have her posting on wootz steel as well as other good stuff,
Gene
