“…Among the various types of relics, salt‐manufactured relics are important material evidence showing the historical development of salt production necessary for human life. Archaeological studies of salt production history began with the discovery of salt production relics in Europe, and intense studies were conducted in European countries including Romania, Bulgaria, Austria, Germany, Spain, Great Britain and France (Brigand et al, 2013; Fielding & Fielding, 2006; Zant, 2016). Thereafter, in North‐East Asia including China, a number of salt production sites have been discovered, and areal salt production history has subsequently become an interesting field of archeological study (Flad et al, 2009; Sun, 2008; Zhu et al, 2005).…”

We present the results of archaeological magnetic surveys in Onchon County, Nampho, DPRK. At Wonup Workers' district in Onchon County, there are tens of heaps containing ash piles, which are seen as sites associated with salt production. The goal of the magnetic surveys was to investigate the relationships between the brine pan sites and the heaps containing ash piles within the study area. The archaeological and magnetic investigations in the study area has revealed that such areas, corresponding to the high magnetic intensity occurrence on the thick ash piles near the brine pits and ditches, could be chosen as the detailed survey areas to find salt production sites. Interpretation of the results demonstrated the reliability of located Euler deconvolution in the presence of complex magnetization effects due to various archaeological remains such as brine pan sites, kilns and potteries. The data processing and interpretation techniques presented in this article could assist in further opportunities to undertake nondestructive investigations of brine pan sites in Wonup area.

The halogen group elements (F, Cl, Br, and I) and the stable isotopes of Cl and Br collectively are powerful tracers of terrestrial volatile cycling. Individually, their distinct geochemical affinities inform on a variety of fluid-mediated and magmatic processes. They form a wide-range of halogen-bearing minerals whose composition reflects the source fluids from which they evaporated or crystallized. Fluorine’s geochemical cycle is generally decoupled from that of the heavier Cl, Br, and I, which are concentrated into Earth’s surface reservoirs. Throughout history, the salt-forming halogens have been integral to human health and are key constituents of many industries. These common elements have an important role in tracing geochemical processes across many geologic environments – from the surface to the deep planetary interior.
