Colonial America[edit]

I'm going to work on finding a more primary source for this, but I was just reading that the 11th century Viking settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland had a furnace and smithy where they smelted bog iron ore into iron for tools and weapons. This would indicate that the Falling Creek Ironworks was not the first iron production facility in North America. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.125.228.81 (talk) 21:22, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a source on iron production at L'Anse aux Meadows Ethan343 (talk) 14:52, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Europe[edit]

The current Europe section only briefly touches on the introduction of bog iron smelting technologies throughout Europe and focuses on Viking use of bog iron. Use of bog iron was extensive in Europe and more information that touches on its use in other cultures or in other countries in Europe would be beneficial for the article as a whole.
