Detailed academic papers on historic metalworking

This covers more technical info:
"On the production of iron swords"
http://192.167.112.135/NewPages/COLLANE/TESTIQDS/swords/02.rtf

And, also focuses on swords:
"Conclusions: from artifacts to a history of craftsmanship"
http://192.167.112.135/NewPages/COLLANE/TESTIQDS/swords/03.rtf

And, what's actually the first paper in the set, but less technical:
"Latinitas et barbaritas: a confrontation of material cultures
particulary referring to metalworking"
http://192.167.112.135/NewPages/COLLANE/TESTIQDS/swords/01.rtf
