SUMMARY The status of the Minyanka blacksmith is novel and does not correspond to any other category yet studied. We dismiss the term of caste because the society as a whole is not organised according to a caste system. We have studied from the angle of total social anthropology forge work as a branch of production, the difference in status between blacksmith and agriculturist, and the role of the theme of the forge in the symbolic system. The evolution of the blacksmith's status as the influence of market economy grew illustrates vividly the overlapping of economic and social structures. We equally see a correlation between the changes in ways of knowledge and religion.
