Rotenstein's bibliography
http://davidsr01.home.mindspring.com/html/blacksmith_bib.htm is a great
place to look for a variety of archaeologically investigated blacksmith
shops.

Sooner or later, you're bound to find these excellent books/articles:

Our community owes much to the late John Light for sharing his research with
us and setting the standard for archaeological investigations and
interpretations of blacksmith shops.

Also, search the HAER website for some measured drawings and photographs of
blacksmith shops collected since the 1930s.

Almost all are outside of your time specs, but there are some great visuals
to help put things in perspective.
