Hi Ariel,
Dr. Ann Feuerbach excavated in Merv/Marv and wrote about it. I think it is in the Persian Steel book, or it is in her PhD on a CD, which I don’t have. I have however written a number of PM’s with her, and there is not doubt, no iron ore, no wood, but the production was running. As I remember it, it did not say from when to when the production was running, but it was running in the 9th century. From where did the ore and the wood come??
