Abstract
This paper describes the bronze casting experiments carried out by the East Sussex Archaeology and Museums Project (ESAMP) during the HMS meeting at Flag Fen on 21st-22nd May 1994. Five castings were made on the 22nd and these are examined. Further reference is made to other casting experiments carried out by ESAMP and the paper also looks at some relevant areas of experimental development.
