Interesting info on medieval smelting.
Vance

"Some experiments on the production of copper with sulphidic ore at the 
site of the medieval town of Rocca San Silvestro. These experiments 
should help to understand a possible prehistoric process of copper 
smelting. The products of the experiments (slag, matte, copper) shall be 
analysed and comparished with equivalent relicts from prehistoric  
copper smelting sites."
