Analysis of iron slag, iron ore and soils of termite nest traditionally utilized in iron forging was conducted in Wui village, Nagaland, India using various techniques. The present study helps in understanding and identifying various chemical properties/compositions, mineralogical qualities and quantities of iron content along with other oxides from the region.Keywords
