Firesetting was an ancient mining technique, making the rock crack and break down through intensive heating. The technique is known since the Younger Stone Age. At the Kongsberg Silver Mines in Norway, the technique was used until 1890, its last known application in European mining. KEY WORDS: Firesetting, silver mine, Kongsberg,

Fire-setting is a method of traditional mining used most commonly from prehistoric times up to the Middle Ages.Fires were set against a rock face to heat the stone, which was then doused with liquid, causing the stone to fracture by thermal shock.Some experiments have suggested that the water (or any other liquid) did not have a noticeable effect on the rock, but rather helped the miners ...

When water was thrown against it, the rock suddenly contracted and split, and primitive antler and bone picks would prise open cracks in the rock.

The Romans used hydraulic mining methods on a large scale to prospect for the veins of ore, especially a now-obsolete form of mining known as hushing. Hydraulic mining had its precursor in the practice of ground sluicing, a development of which is also known as "hushing", in which surface streams of water were diverted so as to erode gold-bearing gravels. Fire-setting was used extensively ...
