htmlOn July 6, the launching ceremony of the Millennium Salt City Source Exploration Project· Tieluzui Iron Smelting Site exploration survey was held at the iron smelting site in Dafeng Village, Tiechang Town, Rong County, Zigong City. At the launch ceremony of

, the guests present introduced and discussed the situation related to the launch of exploration survey. At the subsequent exchange meeting, participating experts and scholars exchanged and discussed the purpose and significance of the exploration and investigation of the Tieluzui iron smelting site, relevant historical records, and the content of the archaeological investigation.

It is reported that the exploration and investigation work of the Tieluzui Iron Smelting Site carried out this time includes data collection, on-site exploration and the preparation of archaeological investigation results report. Among them, data collection includes the collection of literature, map data, physical specimen data, etc. On-site exploration mainly includes specimen collection, site distribution survey, transportation, water source, fuel, ore and other related surveys, surveying and mapping, and establishment of coordinate system . Exploration surveys will be carried out by drilling holes, trenches, squares and other methods.

It is understood that the Tieluzui iron smelting site is located in the 5th iron furnace dam group of Caojiaping Village, Tiechang Town, Rong County. It runs from northwest to southeast and covers an area of ​​15,000 square meters. It is a Han Dynasty iron smelting site. The entire site is distributed in the vicinity of Tielu Dam, Tielu ditch and Tielu mouth. It is 150 meters long from east to west and 100 meters wide from north to south. The terrain slopes from northwest to southeast, and the distribution shape is irregular. There is an existing iron-making furnace with a diameter of 3.35 meters and a height of 4.4 meters.

Development provides important physical information. Through exploration and investigation, we can further understand the nature and distribution characteristics of Zigong iron ore, fuel, transportation, water sources and other cultural relics, and clarify the basic development and changes of ancient iron smelting history; at the same time, the archaeological investigation results and specimen collection can provide a basis for the next step in the history of Rong County The museum's exhibitions provide precious information and related physical support.
