Darby! :D
Wood or charcoal fires and lots of forced air from bellows can heat ore above the melting point of iron (1811°C) .

yes. the melting point of iron is 1536 °C or 2797 °F.
Melting, that's it
Iron's melting point is 1538 °C (2800 °F or 1811 K) for pure metal (powderish or not)

Iron ore was mixed with limestone and charcoal. The charcoal would be ignited, and air forced through the mix. The charcoal would removed the oxygen from the iron ore, leaving iron.
1535 degree melting of iron
Charcoal Iron and Steel - 1935 is rated/received certificates of: Belgium:KT
iron starts melting
With iron filled with charcoal
Melting an iron rod is a physical change
The melting point of iron (nanopowder or not) is 1 538 0C.
Granite has a higher melting point than iron.
Melting of any element, including iron, is a physical change. Melting is just a transition between states of matter, from solid to liquid. The solid state of iron can be regained if the liquid iron is cooled; so this denotes a physical change. There is no change to the chemical composition of iron during melting.
