More Bead Experiments

On Sept 10th the bead folks met again to make some beads and continue our research into the construction and use of the viking era furnaces.

In this case we were after data on how warm the furnaces got and how long they stayed at temperature. Peak temperatures around 1200 C were recorded and times in a useful temperature range ranged up to 10 minutes.
