Mined out of the ground, raw ore is a mixture of materials called ore proper and loose earth called gangue (waste). The ore proper is separated by crushing the raw ore are simply washing away the lighter soil. Breaking down the ore from its impurities is more difficult. This is achieved through a processed called smelting.

Iron was found in rocks called iron ore. Making iron from iron ore (smelting) needed very high temperatures. Techniques for making iron were first developed in the Middle East, some time after 1550 BCE. Ironworking gradually spread westward, reaching Britain by 700 BCE. Iron was harder than bronze, which had been used to make objects before.
